Auto dealers face specific issues. Whether it’s meeting car-buyer demands, matching pace with technology, supporting employee morale or taking care of advertising, there’s a lot to cover. As a result of the business complexity, unforeseen hazards and events can emerge that can also pose a significant financial risk to the business. To protect the company and the business assets, company-specific commercial insurance for auto dealers is essential.
