Running a successful company isn’t easy. Besides the products and services you offer to clients, you must also guard against business risks. With property and casualty insurance, your company will be protected. Home and vehicle owners can also benefit from P&C insurance. Here, our friends at Pacific Prime Hong Kong dive into what it can do for you.
 
What is property and casualty insurance?
 
Also known as P&C insurance, this is a type of business insurance that protects business owners financially from liability or damages in case of accidents or disasters. It also safeguards your personal finances, reputation, and more.
 

For individuals, P&C insurance can be separated into two parts. Property insurance covers your possessions, such as your vehicle or home. Likewise, casualty insurance includes liability coverage. P&C insurance can often be found nestled within other insurance policies.

It protects businesses from a spectrum of threats, losses, and accidents when it comes to property and possessions. Here are some of the most common types of P&C insurance solutions:
 
  • Liabilities (e.g. Products Liability)
  • People Risk (e.g. Workers’ Compensation)
  • Technology Risk (e.g. Computer Crime and Cyber Insurance)
  • Business Risk (e.g. Money Insurance)
  • And more.
 
Keep in mind that all business owners need to have P&C insurance coverage. There’s always a risk that your business may harm a customer or an employee. We recommend reviewing your plan with a trusted broker like Pacific Prime to customize one that meets your unique business requirements and risk exposure.
