How to Customize Commercial Insurance Policies to Include Insurance Policy Endorsements
The different types of commercial insurance that biBERK offers provide broad coverage. However, you can get additional coverage by including what are called insurance policy endorsements. These add-ons typically enhance the base coverage in some way. And whether you ultimately choose to purchase them or not, it’s important to understand the protection they offer.
Insurance endorsements are perhaps easy to lose sight of when you’re planning for the future of your business, but they can make a big difference to you, especially if you need to find a way to give an existing policy a boost.
What are Endorsements in Insurance?
It’s a commonly asked question and something many business owners need to know: What are endorsements in insurance? They’re extremely important for many business owners. Essentially, what you’re doing by adding an endorsement in insurance is upping the amount of coverage you already have, perhaps on a smaller policy. It gives you better protection, and with that comes greater peace of mind (something that every business owner needs).
Endorsements on insurance policy can offer extra coverage like:
- Hired and non-owned auto liability coverage
- Employment-related practices liability coverage
- Employee benefits liability coverage
- Contractors installation, tools & equipment coverage
- Liquor liability coverage
- Cyber coverage
Or, you might add cyber liability or pollution liability coverage as endorsements on insurance policy to existing professional liability coverage. These and other endorsements expand the coverage and enhance the protection of the policy.
Including Commercial Insurance Policy Endorsements is Easy
At biBERK, we’ve made it easy to get a quote and buy insurance policy endorsements online. As you go through the purchase process, you can select the policies and associated endorsements that make the most sense for your business. And, if you have questions along the way, you can email or call us and one of our licensed insurance experts will be happy to assist you.
It’s equally easy to add insurance policy endorsements after you’ve made your purchase.

It takes just a few minutes to get a quote. And if you decide to purchase coverage, you can do that online as well.
