New Hampshire Business Insurance
Customized protection for your New Hampshire business
New Hampshire business owners should consider several types of business insurance to protect against a variety of work-related incidents. Property damage, customer injury and employee illness are just a few of the many things that could result in debts that could put your livelihood at risk.
There are over 136,000 small businesses in New Hampshire that account for 98.9% of all businesses in the state, according to the Small Business Administration. These small businesses collectively employ over 305,000 people and are required by state law to protect them with workers’ compensation insurance.

How much does business insurance cost in New Hampshire?
The cost of a New Hampshire business insurance policy depends mostly on the type of work that you do. Businesses are usually rated on the exposures that are unique to their industry. For example, tree services perform complex work high off the ground. Lawn care specialists, on the other hand, do more predictable work from the ground level. In this scenario, the tree service business is exposed to more risk and will likely pay more for coverage.
Other factors that affect your rate include coverage needs, business size and location. For example, a business in Manchester can expect a different rate than one in Keene, or a business that needs higher coverage limits will pay more than a business that doesn’t.

New Hampshire business insurance requirements
Most coverages aren’t required by New Hampshire state law except for workers’ compensation. Any business that has employees is required to purchase coverage through a private insurance carrier.
While New Hampshire doesn’t require you to have other business coverages, such as a BOP or general liability, many prospective clients and landlords do. Their contracts usually specify the types and amounts of coverage you’ll need before you can begin work with them.
