Why Consider Crime Insurance?
We think every business needs crime coverage. The costs are very competitive and can be included within your business insurance program. A business owner purchases such a bond to protect himself, or his business, against fraudulent activities by an employee. Many business owners do not consider it a necessity, but with employee theft, cyber-crimes, and other criminal activity on the rise, the chance of having a loss has increased dramatically.

What is Crime Insurance?
Crime coverage guarantees that the insurance company will pay the insured business for money or other property lost because of dishonest acts of its employees, either named or by positions.
While many business owners have implemented solid internal controls, there’s always the possibility that those controls will be breached by employees or outside third parties. Commercial crime insurance provides the failsafe your business needs against these risks
