Attorney Matt Nuzum and insurance agent Lisa Schmitz give advice on startup business protection in light of a recent tragedy. If you’re thinking about starting a business or have one in the process, you’ll want to listen up!

Matt and Lisa suggest things that could have been done to protect Ryan Long, a startup brewery owner, and his business prior to his loss of an estimated 200,000. Because a group of teens vandalized his business’s construction site in January 2023, Ryan lost hundreds of thousands of dollars and years of work, and without insurance, this was a tragic loss.

In light of that story, the two experts discuss what business startups can do to obtain risk protection and business insurance before tragedy strikes. It’s important! Thankfully, there are many cost-effective insurance options that can change with each business as they grow.
