What are the requirements for small business insurance in Idaho?
State laws can affect which insurance policies you need for your small business. These policies are required for Idaho businesses.
Workers' compensation insurance
If you employ one or more full-time, part-time, seasonal, or occasional employees, the state of Idaho requires you to maintain a workers' compensation policy unless you are specifically exempt from the law. You must have workers' compensation in place when the first employee is hired. This policy covers medical bills for work injuries and illnesses.
Commercial auto insurance
All business-owned vehicles in Idaho must be covered by commercial auto insurance. Idaho requires a minimum of $25,000 bodily injury liability per person, $50,000 bodily injury liability per accident, and $15,000 property damage liability per accident.
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.
