Alright, let’s talk about it—Small Business Month is here, Redmond! This is your time to shine. Your time to celebrate the grind, the hustle, the “I’ll just answer one more email at 11:47 PM” lifestyle. Whether you’re running a café, a mobile dog grooming biz, or that tech startup you launched in your garage between DoorDash deliveries, you’re out here doing your thing.
But let’s get serious for a second—are you protected? And I don’t mean do you have two-factor authentication on your business Instagram. I’m talkin’ about general liability insurance.
Because if you're building something from the ground up, putting your name on the door, and trying to be the next big thing in Redmond, you better make sure one accident, one customer trip-and-fall, or one freak situation doesn’t wipe you out faster than you can say “we just hit profitability.”
Okay, here's the deal. General liability insurance is like your business’s best friend. The one that shows up on time, picks you up when your car breaks down, and actually knows how to use a fire extinguisher. It’s not flashy, but when stuff hits the fan? You’re gonna be real glad it’s there.
In normal-people terms, it protects your business from all the random, unexpected things that can go wrong. We’re talking:
Bodily injuries – A customer slips on your freshly mopped floor. Boom. Sprained ankle. They’re hurt, they’re mad, and now they’re suing.
Property damage – You (or your employee) accidentally damage someone’s property during a job. Happens more than you think.
Legal defense costs – Even if you didn’t do anything wrong, just defending your business in court costs money. A lot of it.
Advertising injuries – Someone says you copied their logo or tagline. Suddenly you’re being dragged into a copyright mess.
Basically, general liability coverage says, “Hey, if something ridiculous happens that puts your business at risk financially—we got you.”
Redmond is booming. People are moving here, startups are popping up faster than new bubble tea spots, and the business scene is thriving. That’s awesome. But more business means more people, more transactions, more potential oops moments.
Let’s break it down:
You’re doing demos, setting up devices, troubleshooting on-site. All it takes is knocking over a client's monitor, and boom—you're replacing a $2,000 screen you didn’t even touch with your hands.
Plumbers, cleaners, contractors—anyone walking into someone else’s home or business? If a vase gets broken, a dog gets loose, or a kid trips on your toolbox, you better have general liability. Because if not, you're gonna be explaining why your invoice just turned into a lawsuit.
Wet floor. Unmarked step. Random freak accident involving a latte and a laptop. It doesn’t matter how careful you are. The public is unpredictable, and businesses that invite people in are especially exposed to risk.
Just because you’re working from your home office with a “live, laugh, launch” sign doesn’t mean you’re off the hook. If a delivery guy slips on your walkway or a product you sell causes damage, general liability still applies.
YES.
Let me say it louder for the entrepreneurs in the back: YES. YOU. DO.
You don’t wait to get car insurance after you crash into a light pole. You get it ahead of time—just in case. Same thing here.
One lawsuit—one!—can drain your savings, freeze your business, and send you back to the drawing board. General liability insurance is how you make sure one bad day doesn’t become the end of the dream you’ve worked so hard to build.
And guess what? It’s usually way more affordable than people think. Depending on your business type, coverage can start at just a few hundred bucks a year. That’s less than your daily coffee habit or the money you spent on that standing desk you now use as a coat rack.
You run a dog grooming biz out of a cute little shop in Redmond. A customer’s Great Dane slips on the tile and pulls a hip muscle. They sue for vet bills and emotional distress. That’s a general liability claim.
You’re a freelance event planner. You’re setting up decorations at a venue and knock over a speaker that costs more than your car. The venue’s owner is not amused. That’s a general liability claim.
You own a boutique downtown. A customer trips on a loose rug. That’s a general liability claim.
