Commercial umbrella vs personal umbrella for LLC

Commercial umbrella vs personal umbrella for LLC

Member since 2019 · 107 posts · 15 votes

Today, I have a personal lines umbrella policy for myself. If I start a new LLC, do I need to take separate commercial umbrella policy? Or is it possible to add LLC in the personal umbrella policy itself?

Yes, you should need another umbrella policy. Your personal umbrella policy should only cover assets/policies in your name. The LLC is a separate legal entity and should be treated as one to maintain its corporate veil. It will need its own policy should you desire one. Good luck.

    Ryan, I am 99% sure you will need to go commercial; I dealt with a similar transition a few years back.

    Any insurance company you recommend for commercial?  I also think commercial is the way to go, to separate business from personal.
