SMEs Insurance

SME Insurance is a type of commercial or business insurance that protects small and medium enterprises (SMEs) from financial losses caused by unexpected events. These events include business risks, such as fire, theft, loss of cargo, workplace accidents leading to employee injuries, and more.

For example, if a fire breaks out in a small garment manufacturing unit and damages its machinery, SME insurance can help cover the repair and replacement costs. Similarly, if a bakery faces a burglary incident and valuable equipment is stolen, the policy helps cover the loss, ensuring business continuity.
In India, small and medium enterprises are steadily growing in number. According to a Press Information Bureau Report, in 2020-21, 714 micro and 3,701 small enterprises scaled up to medium enterprises. By 2023-24, these numbers increased to 2,372 micro and 17,745 small businesses, highlighting the significant growth in the MSME sector.

To support their growth and boost their operations, TATA AIG offers flexible business insurance policies that help SMEs protect themselves and their capital from major financial losses.

Though business insurance itself is not a legal mandate, employee compensation insurance is mandatory in India. If you own an SME, you can consider getting employee compensation insurance. You can also add a workmen’s compensation or a personal accident add-on to your Tata AIG policy to ensure your employees’ safety.

Business Steadiness

The coverage of a commercial insurance policy secures a company’s losses, enabling them to move forward without any major roadblocks. In case of major losses, small businesses can resume their operation rapidly after recovering the losses.

Partners, vendors, investors, and any other company stakeholders can trust your business better when they know it is protected against losses. This increases the business’s credibility.

Commercial insurance may not be a compulsory requirement; however, without adequate insurance coverage, your business becomes susceptible to a range of unexpected risks and hazards. Hence, business insurance that meets your company’s or enterprise’s needs is essential for its growth.
