Cyber Liability	Hacks, ransomware, or HIPAA-related data breaches
Workers’ Compensation	Required if you have employees — covers workplace injuries

Here’s a general estimate based on your setup:

Business Type	Estimated Annual Premium
Solo Nurse Injector	$800 – $1,500
Startup Med Spa (2–4 staff)	$2,000 – $3,500
