Lower your rate
How to save money on your policy
- Run background checks on all employees who handle money or have access to financial systems — carriers ask about this and it affects rates
- Implement dual-control procedures for financial transactions — carriers offer discounts for documented internal controls
- Review crime coverage limits annually as your business's cash handling grows
Mistakes worth avoiding
- Assuming general liability covers employee theft
- Skipping coverage because a business is small
- Not covering funds transfer fraud separately

Common questions
No, general liability covers third-party claims against you. It doesn't cover losses caused by your own employees.
It's one of the more underreported commercial losses. Smaller businesses with fewer financial controls are statistically more exposed, not less.
Not typically. Funds transfer fraud and social-engineering scams require this coverage or a specific cyber endorsement.
Coverage applies business-wide rather than per-role, but your exposure assessment will weigh which roles handle money or sensitive access.
