Business bonds may be required for licensing, contractual agreements, or regulatory compliance. Surety bonds, including contractor license bonds, performance bonds, bid bonds, and permit bonds, provide assurance that contractual obligations will be fulfilled according to agreed terms. Fidelity bonds, often referred to as business crime coverage, help protect companies against financial loss resulting from employee dishonesty, theft, fraud, or forgery. 

What Insurance Do Small Businesses Need?

The right small business insurance package depends on your industry, number of employees, vehicles used for business, property ownership or lease structure, contractual obligations, and state regulatory requirements.



Michigan businesses often face additional considerations such as workers’ compensation rules and commercial auto liability requirements. If you are asking what insurance your business needs, we review your operations in detail before recommending coverage.
