What is a High-Risk Business?

Any business which operates in a field where there’s increased risk of damage or injuries to either workers or the public might be considered high risk. Insurance agencies will decide whether the specific coverage-seeking business is high-risk or not, but there are a few common characteristics under which high-risk businesses operate.

Factors Contributing to Higher Risk

  • Line of Business: certain businesses and work types naturally come with more risk of injury or property damage
  • Past Claims: companies or industries with a history of higher-than-average number of claims or a tendency toward pricier claims
  • Company History: new businesses with an unproven model or in a low-regulation industry, or simply an elevated number of past claims
  • Industry Type: some industries carry inherent risks for a company’s employees
  • Business Location: proximity to flood plains, dry timber or even higher crime areas may increase risk
