Getting insurance for your online business platform is quite important because it is one of the most significant pieces of a business plan that you need to protect your investments in case of calamities for emergencies. It will protect you financially and psychologically even. You wouldn’t have to think about additional problems if you have your equipment ensured.
​
However, since we are talking about a virtual business platform, one can ask if you still need auto insurance policies to protect the entire operation? It's a good question because tradition dictates that you get auto insurance policies, especially since you would have to travel for meetings regularly.
Is There A Need For Auto Insurance?
The short answer would be it depends on the nature of the business. Many factors can lead you to take insurance policies for automobiles, even if you are operating mainly online. Here are some of those considerations as follows:

1. Your Need for Travel
Before paying for your auto insurance policy, you have to ask yourself if you would need to travel much for your online business to work. Just because you are going to operate within the web most of the time, doesn’t mean that you won't have to leave the house from time to time. The question is, how much traveling would you need for business? 

2. The Nature of Your Business
You will also need an insurance policy for automobiles if your online business entails the use of service vehicles. Here are some examples as follows:
  • For Delivery
    If you are operating an online delivery service, you would need an auto insurance policy. You would need transportation to deliver the goods to the customer. This condition also applies if you don't handle drop shipping businesses.

  • To Handle Meetings Outside
    If you're using your vehicle to handle business meetings outside the house, you need to have an auto insurance policy. The good thing about this is that you only need to update the plan you already have for your car to include business protection.

  • For Food Truck and Any Other Mobile Businesses
    On the other hand, if you are operating a food truck, for example, you would also need an auto insurance policy. A food truck essentially is a traveling eatery. You can do it from the comfort of your backyard. All you need is some SUV or a bus with enough space to handle the equipment as well as the food production aspect.

How is this online? Well, you would need to promote it. That is where the Internet comes in. If you have a web page that supports your food truck, it is essentially an online business. It also will apply to any other mobile business that you might have in mind.

Conclusion

These are just some of the reasons for you to have auto insurance policies for your online platform. It will protect your physical products from any damage while in transit for sure. However, if you feel like you don’t need to travel for work, you would only need business insurance to protect your equipment.
