What are the requirements for small business insurance in Wisconsin?

State laws can affect which insurance policies you need for your small business. These policies are required for Wisconsin businesses.

Workers' compensation insurance

Generally, Wisconsin state law requires businesses with three or more employees, full-time or part-time, to carry workers’ compensation insurance. This policy covers medical bills for work injuries and illnesses.

Commercial auto insurance

All business-owned vehicles in Wisconsin must be covered by commercial auto insurance. 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.

Wisconsin's commercial auto insurance requirements are:

Bodily injury liability: $25,000 per person / $50,000 per accident
Property damage liability: $10,000 per accident
Uninsured motorist coverage: $25,000 per person / $50,000 per accident
