Why Business Insurance in Wilmington, NC Is Different

Wilmington sits at the heart of a thriving coastal economy. But it also sits squarely in hurricane country. As a business owner here, your insurance needs are shaped by factors that out-of-town agents may not fully account for:

• Exposure to wind, storm surge, and flooding during hurricane season
• A competitive local market where the right price matters as much as the right coverage
• Industry-specific risks tied to tourism, construction, healthcare, food service, and the film industry
• Location-specific flood zone considerations that affect your property coverage and liability exposure

Our agents live and work in Wilmington. We know the coast, the climate, and the competition. That local focus means we can build a business policy for to your business.

Business Insurance Coverage We Offer

At THG Insurance, we represent over a dozen insurance companies and brokers nationwide, which means we shop the market on your behalf to find the right fit for your business.

Business Owner’s Policy (BOP)

A Business Owner’s Policy is the most popular commercial insurance solution for small to medium-sized businesses. It bundles three essential coverages into one affordable policy:

• Property Insurance — covers your building, equipment, inventory, and furniture against fire, theft, vandalism, and other covered perils
• General Liability Insurance — protects against claims of bodily injury or property damage caused by your business operations, covering legal fees, medical expenses, and settlement costs
• Business Interruption Insurance — replaces lost income and covers operating expenses if a covered event forces your business to temporarily shut down

A BOP is typically more affordable than purchasing each policy separately, and it gives you a solid safety net for the risks most businesses face every day.

Talk to one of our agents to find out if a BOP is the right insurance policy for your business.

Additional Coverage Options for Your Small Business

Not every business fits into a standard policy. Beyond the BOP, THG Insurance offers a full range of commercial coverage options to make sure every aspect of your business is protected.

Commercial Auto Insurance

If your business uses vehicles, whether it’s a work truck, a delivery van, or a fleet of service vehicles, personal auto insurance won’t cover you on the job. Commercial auto insurance protects your business vehicle, your drivers, and your clients if an accident happens while you’re operating for business purposes.

North Carolina requires liability insurance for all commercial vehicles. Our agents work with multiple insurance companies to find you competitive rates on commercial auto coverage that meets NC requirements.

Workers’ Compensation Insurance

Workers’ compensation is required by law in North Carolina for most businesses with employees. It covers medical expenses and lost wages if an employee is injured or becomes ill as a result of their work.

Beyond meeting the legal requirement, workers’ comp is a critical part of your responsibility to the people who help your business succeed.

Professional Liability / Errors & Omissions Insurance

If your business provides professional services or advice — accounting, real estate, consulting, healthcare, and more — professional liability insurance (E&O) helps protect your business if a client claims your services caused them financial harm. Even the most careful professionals face claims.

Having the right policy in place means you can defend yourself and serve your clients without putting your business at risk.

More Ways We Can Cover Your Business

• Umbrella / excess liability coverage for protection beyond your base policy limits
• Inland marine coverage for tools, equipment, and goods in transit
• Cyber liability insurance to protect against data breaches
• Employment practices liability insurance (EPLI)
• Commercial property coverage for owned or leased business locations
