Does a Single Member LLC Need Insurance?
Does a single member LLC need insurance? Yes, and the stakes are arguably higher than for a multi-member LLC.
With a single member LLC, you are the only person absorbing every operational risk. If your single member LLC is sued, there is no other member to share the burden. Your business assets, including all revenue and equipment, are fully exposed. The good news: single member LLC insurance is typically cheaper than coverage for larger entities because you have fewer employees, lower payroll, and a smaller risk footprint. A home-based single member LLC can obtain strong general liability coverage for as little as $11–$30/month through providers like Next Insurance or Hiscox.
