What are the requirements for small business insurance in Florida?
State laws can affect which insurance policies you need for your small business. These policies are required for Florida businesses.
Workers' compensation insurance
Florida state law requires businesses with four or more employees, full-time or part-time, to carry workers’ compensation insurance. In the construction industry, businesses with even one employee must provide workers’ comp. This policy covers medical bills for work injuries and illnesses.
Commercial auto insurance
All business-owned vehicles in Florida must be covered by commercial auto insurance. Florida requires $10,000 property damage liability per accident and $10,000 personal injury protection.
Though it's not required, personal vehicles driven for work purposes should be covered by hired and non-owned auto insurance, as personal auto policies usually exclude business use. It can be added to general liability insurance or a business owner's policy.
