Owning and operating a business requires careful and comprehensive consideration of risks and exposures. Without proper planning and ample awareness, even an isolated incident or abbreviated issue could cause dire financial ramifications. Your company may face costly property damage, irreparable reputational harm, insurmountable business interruptions and lengthy legal battles. Fortunately, understanding relevant risks can help your business be prepared.

Key Business Risks in 2025

Your business’s risk profile is unique and dynamic, often changing according to the world around it. As your industry evolves, your company grows, and economic and market patterns change, you must continuously reassess relevant risks. In 2025, many businesses across a wide array of sectors and specializations may need to consider the following:

• Cyberthreats—As the business world continues to move more operations and functions online, digital threats and cyberattacks are increasingly important to address. Robust cybersecurity measures and sufficient cyber liability insurance should be top priorities.

• Natural disasters—Hurricanes, earthquakes, wildfires and other natural disasters continue to inflict devastating damages on businesses and individuals alike. Your company should invest in appropriate insurance policies, including commercial property and flood policies, to ensure it can access aid following natural disasters.

• Business interruptions—Damage from incidents such as natural disasters, riots and vandalism may often be covered by commercial property insurance and other policies. However, such coverage may pay only for direct losses, such as repairing your building or replacing damaged belongings, necessitating additional measures to account for lost income and other financial implications.

• Leadership gaps—More members of the baby boomer generation are expected to retire in 2025 and beyond. Businesses must plan for smooth successions and transitions to new leadership, as faltering during these times can leave clients and partners uninspired, and potentially cause employees to look for alternative employment opportunities.
