Small Business Insurance Tips and Advice

The WellnessPro Weekly

Woman wearing glasses sits next to a green plant while looking down at a grey tablet, as if reading small business insurance tips and advice on the WellnessPro insurance blog.

What’s the best way to protect your business from claims?

By learning. The better informed you are about common claim scenarios, the better equipped you’ll be to prevent them. 

There are plenty of ways to learn about insurance insights and risk management. And yet, how many wellness and beauty business blogs are there? How often do insurance blogs for consumers specialize in insurance for nutritional therapists and consultants, hairstylists and barbers insurance, and other wellness professions? 

Deep breaths, friends. That’s what we’re here for!

About the WellnessPro Insurance Blog

Naturally, as insurance professionals, our job at WellnessPro is to make sure you’re covered once a lawsuit happens. But what inspires us just as much (perhaps even more) is keeping claims from happening in the first place.

That’s why we created the WellnessPro Weekly: a blog to give small businesses insurance tips and advice. It’s your guide to understanding risk factors in the wellness community and how to limit your liability against them. (You could say the WellnessPro insurance blog is for wellness experts who want to become risk management experts, too!)

How often can you expect new insurance blog posts? It’s in the name: Every week! Think of our content team as your personal risk management trainers. Our weekly articles are researched and written in house to walk you through insurance insights for your wellness profession. No more sifting through cosmetologist insurance articles to learn about esthetician insurance, or reading about massage small business insurance tips in search of acupuncture advice.

We’ll address topics like:

  • Injuries your customers, you, or your employees could face.
  • How and when service agreements can be used to mitigate your risk.
  • Addressing and preventing client complaints.
  • Maintaining realistic expectations about your services.
  • Protecting yourself from “services gone wrong” scenarios.

The WellnessPro Weekly tackles small business insurance advice and risk management for every wellness specialty covered under our program. So whether you’re a fitness instructor, a hair stylist, aesthetician, masseuse, tattoo artist, or dog groomer, we’ve got your back!
