Workers compensation can be a large expense for small businesses. It’s not uncommon for small business owners, especially new business owners, to exclude themselves from coverage on their own company’s workers’ compensation policy to reduce the expense.

http://tricorinsurance.com/sites/tricorinsurance.com/assets/images/blog-posts/mobile-equipment-0028.jpgPerhaps your business owns, operates, maintains or uses mobile equipment in some way or another. Many times, there is confusion as to what is actually considered “mobile equipment,” and does it differ from an “auto.”

First, let’s start off by understanding what “mobile equipment” is and what an “auto” is, since the two are often lumped together within the insurance universe.

To most people, when they hear the word “audit” they immediately have unpleasant thoughts and want to throw out both hands and scream “NOOOOO”.  Many people associate audits with taxes and the big, bad IRS and usually nothing good can come from this experience. But not all audits are bad!
