Why do software as a service (SaaS) companies need business insurance?

A service outage could be financially devastating for a small SaaS provider or startup. Business insurance covers the cost of lawsuits brought by customers harmed by a disruption. It can also pay for property damage and injuries. Some policies, such as workers' compensation, may be required by law.
