What are the requirements for small business insurance in Missouri?
State laws can affect which insurance policies you need for your small business. These policies are required for Missouri businesses.
Workers' compensation insurance
Missouri state law requires businesses with five 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 Missouri must be covered by commercial auto insurance.
Missouri requires a minimum of:
- Bodily injury liability: $25,000 per person / $50,000 per accident
