Which business insurance policies are required in Arizona?
State laws can affect which types of business insurance you need to carry. These policies are required everywhere in Arizona, from Phoenix to Tucson.
Workers' compensation insurance
Arizona state law [PDF] requires all businesses that regularly have at least one employee, full-time or part-time, to carry workers’ compensation insurance. Some coverage exceptions include independent contractors, casual or occasional workers, and domestic workers who are only employed in a home.
Commercial auto insurance
All business-owned vehicles in Arizona must be covered by commercial auto insurance. Arizona's minimum requirements for auto insurance are:
- $25,000 bodily injury liability per person
- $50,000 bodily injury liability per accident
- $15,000 property damage liability per accident
Trucking companies may need additional coverage to comply with regulations.
Though it's not required, personal vehicles driven for work purposes should be covered by hired and non-owned auto insurance (HNOA), as personal auto policies usually exclude business use. It can be added to general liability insurance or a business owner's policy (BOP).
How much does small business insurance cost in AZ?
Commercial insurance can be affordable for small business owners. Average costs in Arizona are:
General liability: $42 per month
Workers' comp: $39 per month
Professional liability/E&O: $59 per month
Factors that influence business insurance costs include:
- Your industry and risks
- Business operations
- Number of employees
- Policy limits and deductibles
Other common questions about Arizona business insurance
How do I get a certificate of insurance for my business?
Insureon's licensed agents can help you find policies that fulfill Arizona's requirements and protect against financial loss. Once you've purchased insurance with us, you can download a certificate of insurance by logging into your account.
Can my company be held liable for a data security breach?
Yes – that's why cyber insurance is so crucial. Hackers are three times more likely to target small businesses, as they often have fewer resources to combat a threat.
Arizona's data breach laws require businesses to report security breaches to affected residents, and the costs can escalate quickly. Cyber liability insurance lessens the financial impact by paying for notification costs, legal fees, and fines.
Does my industry affect state insurance requirements?
Yes, your state may have special requirements for business insurance and bonds for your industry. You may also need a license depending on the work you do.
Contractors often need to carry general liability insurance or surety bonds to perform certain types of work. Having the right insurance and bonds helps you comply with state licensing requirements.
Real estate agents and brokers and other professionals who offer advice or services sometimes need errors and omissions insurance (E&O) to get licensed in their state.
Note that cities and counties may have their own laws, in addition to state laws.
