Weekly Wrap: A Close Look at Spotify, Tools for Great Content Marketing, and More



Sponsored by: Simply Business

Is your small business risk-ready?

A client has an allergic reaction to some face cream you applied. A customer trips over a ladder you left on the lawn. You neglect to carry the “2” on a client's tax return and they have to pay a penalty. Just about every small business faces financial risks, but more than half of them (56%) aren’t protected with insurance.

Without insurance, you could find yourself having to cover costly claims.

Even if it’s not your fault, you may still have to pay the legal expenses to defend yourself.

Getting covered doesn’t have to be confusing, time-consuming, or expensive. Simply Business can help find affordable coverages many small businesses need in just minutes. All from leading insurers and all online, 24/7. They’ve done that for more than 1 million businesses worldwide.

Simply Business offers same-day coverage for most policies and their licensed agents can answer your questions on the phone.

Readers, when it’s time to insure your business, be sure with Simply Business.
