The number one way that a small business can be destroyed is, surprisingly, not loss of sales. Many businesses face market challenges trying to build a portfolio of customers at first, but most usually find a way to break even until a big win comes along. Instead, the real knockout punch can come from a disgruntled customers who decides to file a lawsuit, according to E.S.T.I.R. Inc.
Newark, NJ legal challenges are probably the most decimating cost a business can face at its beginning because both the claim and expense to defend one’s business can be extremely costly. Just look at all the small restaurant businesses who have been getting hit with lawsuits for disability access. All the claiming party has to do is send a letter threatening to sue if the small business doesn’t settle for $10,000 and make fixes for disability access to the facility. This racket has been going on for years and, given the cost of hiring a lawyer to push back, many small mom and pop restaurants have had to just close their doors completely to avoid the expense.
With a solid commercial insurance plan in place, however, a Newark NJ business can fend off such challenges and keep operations going. The insurance policy is designed for such business threats and risks, and provides the resources to deal with the related claim and settle them quickly. The business doesn’t deal with the risk; it only pays for the cost of the policy, which is far more affordable in comparison.
You can risk your small business and everything you worked for without protection; no one requires business insurance to be in place aside from protection for employees and professional liability. However, that one knock-out punch is all it takes in many cases. Call E.S.T.I.R. Inc. to find out more information and keep your business alive!
