Common business insurance exclusions

Every policy leaves something out. Here is what is commonly excluded, so there are no surprises later.

By the InsuranU team Updated July 20263 min read

Reading the exclusions matters more in business insurance than almost anywhere else, since the stakes of a gap are higher.

Commonly excluded

  • Intentional acts
  • Employee injuries, which need workers' compensation instead
  • Professional errors, which need professional liability instead
  • Flood and earthquake, usually needing separate policies
  • Cyber incidents, unless specifically added

How to close the gaps

Ask specifically about cyber liability and any industry-specific exclusions relevant to your business.
