Insurance companies classify businesses according to what they actually do.

A business classified as:

  • Accountant
  • Retail store
  • Restaurant
  • Medical office
  • Beauty salon
  • Contractor
  • Manufacturer
  • Consulting company
  • Warehouse
  • Property manager

will not necessarily be rated the same way.

Always disclose the full scope of operations.

A policy written for one type of business should not automatically be assumed to cover a new or substantially different operation.
