Wrapping Up the Year: Is Your Business Covered with Commercial Insurance in Redmond?

🎉 The End of the Year is Here—And So is the Chaos

Alright Redmond business owners, let’s be honest: December hits different. You've got holiday rushes, employee potlucks that somehow always involve seven trays of deviled eggs, and year-end sales targets breathing down your neck like a kid waiting for Santa. It’s hectic, it’s exciting, and it’s a little terrifying if you’re not prepared.

Amid all that, one thing usually gets tossed to the bottom of the “deal with later” list: commercial insurance.

And we get it! No one’s sitting around the fireplace sipping cocoa saying, “Wow, you know what really gives me holiday joy? Reviewing my general liability policy.” But hear us out: now is the perfect time to ask one very grown-up, very real question…

👉 Is your business actually covered the way it should be?

☃️ Redmond Isn’t Just Tech and Trees—It’s Business Hustle Central

Whether you’re running a boutique in downtown Redmond, managing a café where the espresso machine runs harder than your employees, or launching the next big startup from your garage (because, of course), this city is full of movers and shakers.

But here’s the thing: hustle alone doesn’t protect you from:

• Slip-and-falls on icy sidewalks

• Property damage during those wild winter windstorms

• Employee accidents

• Customer complaints (or lawsuits) because someone spilled eggnog near a laptop

• Inventory losses from a busted pipe or surprise theft during holiday chaos

You’ve worked hard all year—don’t let one icy patch or freak incident throw your entire business off course.

🧠 What Exactly Is Commercial Insurance (And Why Do You Need It)?

Think of commercial insurance as the peppermint mocha of peace of mind—sweet, satisfying, and something you didn’t know you needed until it was in your hand.

At Absolute Insurance Solutions, we help Redmond business owners get the right blend of coverage—no fluff, no filler, just the protection you need. Here are the major coverage options you should consider before popping the champagne on New Year’s Eve:

1. General Liability Insurance

This is your basic safety net. If someone slips, trips, or claims bodily injury or property damage, this keeps you from paying out of pocket and possibly auctioning off your office chairs to cover it.

2. Commercial Property Insurance

Fires, floods, broken windows, and other “oh no” moments don’t care what season it is. This covers your building, equipment, and inventory. Yes, even that printer that’s constantly jamming.

3. Business Interruption Insurance

Let’s say a power outage knocks out your operations for a week. Are you still paying rent? Still have payroll? This coverage helps cover losses so you can breathe a little easier when life throws curveballs.

4. Commercial Auto Insurance

Have a delivery van? Service trucks? You can’t rely on personal auto insurance for business use. That’s like wearing flip-flops in a snowstorm. Not ideal.

5. Workers' Compensation Insurance

If you have employees (even just one), you need this. It covers medical expenses and lost wages if they get injured on the job—which is great because band-aids and lawsuits are not the same price.

6. Bonds

We also offer bonds for contractors and business owners in Redmond who need that extra credibility and security in client contracts.

🎯 Why Year-End is the Right Time to Reassess Your Coverage

The end of the year isn’t just for buying calendars and watching your holiday weight creep up. It’s also the perfect moment to review, update, or switch your business insurance plan.

Why? Because this is when:

• You’re reviewing financials anyway

• Your operations might change in the new year

• You may have expanded, hired, or pivoted in the last 12 months

• Your current policy might be outdated, overpriced, or underwhelming

Most people don’t even remember what’s in their policy until something goes wrong. Let’s not wait until a ceiling leak becomes a budget-crushing disaster.
