Employment insurance covers a wide variety of types of insurance. Regardless, when you have a business or employ other people, you will need employment insurance to protect your employees. You'll also need health insurance for them, building or renters insurance for your business, and general insurance for whatever your business might do, especially if you work with children or adult clients.

Difficulty: Easy

Instructions

1. 1
   Research the specific insurance agencies in your area. Even though you are applying online, it is still important to have an insurance agency that operates in the same area where you do business. That way, if you have a claim to make you can be sure it is handled locally. Also, some states have regulations about being covered by an in-state insurance provider. Check your phone book or do an online search for insurance companies near you.
   
2. 2
   Research the various insurance companies near you and find out which ones offer the specific types of employment insurance you are looking for. Read about the insurance and what it covers--your employees, yourself, your building, or the things in your building or things you do. Choose the types of insurance that best fit your needs.
   
3. 3
   Go to the insurance company's online site and see if there is a link that says "Apply Online." If there is no link, call the insurance company and ask if you can apply online. If you cannot, you may need to choose another insurance company or give up on applying online.
   
4. 4
   Fill out the online applications for the insurance company you have chosen. Some parts of the application may need to be printed out and signed before being sent in. Other parts do not need to be printed, and can be submitted online.
