Companies often rely on specialized equipment, tools, and other technology to perform their daily functions and complete services for customers. After a while, tools, equipment, and technology can get worn out and lose their effectiveness, or worse yet, lead to slowdowns and liability issues for companies.

The United States is home to over 1 million restaurants, employing over 15 million workers a year in establishments both big and small. Regardless of the size, location, or type of restaurant, workers at these businesses often suffer a higher rate of injury and accidents than workers in other industries. Because of the higher risk of worker injuries, it's imperative for business owners to promote worker safety at all times.

We are people of precaution and safety, more so now than ever before. Fifty years ago people didn't wear seat belts when driving or lock the front doors to their house, but we do these things now to keep our loved ones and ourselves safe. However, each year millions of families will be unprotected in a different way: by failing to have any kind of life insurance protection in place for when a loved one passes away. In today's Aegis blog post, we look at the ramifications of not having life insurance coverage to protect your family and their future.

Over time, businesses might find themselves in need of more space, improved facilities, or additional tools, equipment, and furnishings.

Rather than try to find a new location, it might make more sense logistically and financially to simply upgrade the existing building and business assets. While upgrades can potentially save time and money, it could also mean an upgrade or addition to commercial insurance coverage.
