Insurance for Small business with staff: what you really need

With employees you are liable for their mistakes at customers' premises, so business liability comes first. Then contents and business interruption, because a fire costs months of revenue. Statutory accident insurance through the trade association (Berufsgenossenschaft) is compulsory and not arranged by brokers.
