Lack of confidence in coverage among small business owners
Despite the critical role insurance plays in protecting small businesses, a recent survey conducted by NEXT Insurance revealed a lack of confidence among small business owners regarding their coverage.

Understanding insurance needs and selecting the right coverage package can be a significant barrier for small business owners.
