Experience Of Club Management Will Influence Its Insurability And Rates
A club is a formal organization of a number of people who group themselves and repeatedly meet for a mutual intent of the members. A club has to meet specific legal organizational requirements for it to be original. The club's aim can be anything except the sole purpose of obtaining insurance. This means that a party of people cannot organize themselves in a club just for the intention of buying health insurance, for instance.
Types of clubs: A club can be political,social, financial,charitable, etc. Examples of club includes: Men clubs, books clubs, country clubs, bible clubs, gun club, baseball club, etc.
Insuring a club is one of the confusing issues for commercial insurance personnel and customers because of the great differences between one club and another, as well as the related exposure. The obstacle comes as a outcome of the trouble in determining the liability exposure of the club. All clubs share certain common coverage needs.
The common coverages that are shared with other organizations include property insurance for the building (if owned) and business property (office equipment and electronic data processing equipment), workers comp for work related injuries of the workforce, business auto, excess liability, and commercial liability. Commercial general liability and directors and officers coverage are, perhaps, the most vital coverage needed by clubs.
