SMEs, Small and Medium-sized Enterprises, are one of the significant and unavoidable sectors in our country today. The contribution of SMEs is quite remarkable. This sector employs over 11 crores all over the country and contributes 37% to the country’s GDP annually. Though SMEs are at their best, it indeed needs extra financial support and enormous protection. The fact is that SMEs have become one of the huge markets of our country and that also attracts the insurance companies to leave a footprint on this sector.

Running small businesses has its own pros and cons. Risks at all levels commonly prevail in these sectors. SMEs retain financial security and risks regularly. Business strategies and liabilities are the prime levels of concern in running a good business. Insurance companies usually consider some essential factors in big companies. But the fact is that SMEs are conventionally small and may be left out of that consideration. SMEs normally contemplate that insurance is an additional financial burden. Insurance companies are facing this challenge and are now focusing on ways to overcome it. However, SMEs in addition to making money should make sure to protect it. They should be aware of the insurance benefit for the successful continuity of the businesses.

There are various uncertainties or uninvited circumstantial events that may cause a serious impact on business. In such cases, for SMEs, only insurance comes in for the rescue.

The benefits of SME insurance are relatively vast. It includes the protection of the employees and protects the business against fire, burglary, or natural disasters. It compensates the business against accidents and so on. Some benefits are applicable only through law such as legal liabilities insurance, third-party damages, etc.
