Basic Coverages
General Liability (GL): often referred to as business liability insurance, is coverage that can protect you from a variety of claims including bodily injury, property damage, personal injury and others that can arise from your business operations. Typically needed before a contractor can begin work on a job
Commercial Auto: Commercial auto insurance is liability and physical damage protection for vehicles, such as cars, trucks and vans, that are used for business. Commercial vehicles require a separate policy because they’re typically exposed to more risk than personal vehicles. You have the choice to cover attached equipment such as ladder racks and permanently attached tool boxes. Individual tools and materials usually aren’t covered under this policy.
Other coverages contractors might need
Business Owners Policy (BOP): Packages contractors liability and coverage for personal property and commercial buildings into one policy.
Workers’ Compensation: Protects if your employees become ill or injured while at work.
