Summary

  • As the American workforce shifts to mostly freelancing by 2027, the importance of business insurance will increase
  • Small business owners struggle with the complexities of business insurance, with 40% finding it more stressful than taxes and 96% failing to pass a basic insurance knowledge test
  • To protect themselves, freelancers should follow these tips:
  • General liability insurance, which most freelancers need, costs 42 monthly
  • Nine out of ten freelancers pay under $50 each month
  • Professional liability/E&O insurance costs about 61 per month, while technology E&O insurance costs around 713 yearly
  • Workers’ compensation insurance, which some states require, costs 45 monthly
  • While the choices might be overwhelming at first, having the right insurance is essential to protect one’s livelihood and professional credibility, especially as one-time clients become long-term partnerships, and a single uninsured incident can cost more than premium payments
