Interior designers in Wisconsin face industry-specific risks that require customized insurance coverage.

General liability insurance is often required by your contracts and covers damages your business causes, along with advertising-related claims.
Property insurance for interior designers covers damages to your office space, furnishings or equipment from fire, theft and other surprise threats.
Professional liability insurance helps you pay for claims of negligence or design errors.
Workers’ compensation is mandatory for all interior designers who have employees in Wisconsin.

Here are five essential coverages every interior design service company should consider to stay protected and profitable:
A business owner’s policy (BOP) for interior designers is a smart starting point. It bundles key coverages into one affordable package – ideal for new or growing businesses. Your BOP typically includes:
GENERAL LIABILITY FOR INTERIOR DESIGNERS Covers legal and medical costs if a client or other non-employee is injured or their property damaged by your business. It also protects you from advertising-related claims. Examples:
PROPERTY INSURANCE FOR INTERIOR DESIGN SERVICES Helps repair or replace your office space, furnishings, and equipment if disaster strikes – like fire, theft, or vandalism. Examples:
BUSINESS INTERRUPTION INSURANCE Replaces lost income if you need to temporarily pause your business due to covered property damage.
Wisconsin law requires workers’ compensation insurance for all interior design services with employees. It covers medical expenses and lost wages for employees injured on the job – and protects you from most employee lawsuits. Examples:
Also known as errors and omissions (E&O) insurance, this coverage protects against claims of negligence, misrepresentation, or failure to deliver your services as promised.
If you store client data, use digital design platforms, or manage online payments, you’re vulnerable to cyber threats. Cyber insurance helps cover the costs of data breaches, ransomware and regulatory penalties. Examples:
Think of this as insurance for your insurance! A commercial umbrella insurance policy provides extra protection when other key policies like your general liability reach their limits, which helps you protect your company's financial assets.
