Is a business owner's policy right for you?
A business owner's policy (BOP) combines general liability and commercial property in a single policy. You can supplement a BOP with other coverages like business income and cyber.
What kinds of insurance does an event planning business need?
Here are the main types of insurance event planners use to protect their business.
General liability
General liability insurance safeguards event planners from claims of bodily injuries and property damage.
Protect your event planning business from a variety of incidents that bring liability claims, such as
- Injuries at trade show events resulting from vendor booth malfunctions
- Accidental damage to venue floors, walls, and furniture while staff load out equipment after an event
Commercial property
Most event planners get commercial property insuranceto protect themselves from the financial impact of property losses.
Commercial property insurance can help protect your business from losses like
- Theft of expensive audio visual equipment and furniture for staging
- Damage from or fire to equipment and materials kept in a storage unit
Workers compensation
Have employees? Most states require that any small business with one or more employees have workers compensation insurance.
Workers compensation helps protect your event planning business when an employee gets sick or injured on the job, such as
- Paying for an emergency room visit when an employee trips over a wire and breaks a bone
- Offsetting lost wages when an employee needs time off to recover from a work related injury
- Covering physical therapy when an employee develops a repetitive stress injury from lifting and carrying heavy equipment

Many clients will ask to see a certificate of insurance (COI), a document that proves you have general liability coverage. They may also ask you to list them as an additional insured on your certificate of insurance.
You can easily obtain a certificate of insurance by logging in to your account with your insurance provider and downloading a copy.
