State laws mandate certain types of insurance coverage
Most states require businesses with even one employee to carry workers’ compensation insurance, which covers expenses associated with occupational injuries. Commercial auto insurance requirements also vary by state.
Property insurance costs more in high-value locations
Even within the same state, property values can vary tremendously. If your real estate is valued at a higher amount, you may need higher limits on property insurance to cover it. It may also be difficult to insure property in areas prone to fires, earthquakes, flooding, and other localized risks.
Population and crime rates factor into premium costs
Small businesses in lower crime-rate areas may receive savings on property insurance that protects against theft and vandalism. Less foot traffic in a less populated town can equate to potential savings on general liability insurance, a key policy to protect against customer lawsuits. In contrast, a small business owner in a major city might pay more for these policies.
