Let’s see how insurance protects contractors:
LIABILITY INSURANCE FOR CONTRACTORS
A small contracting business can come with big risks. Whether it’s potential damage to a customers building or property, someones personal injury related to your job site or a lawsuit stemming from breach of contract, commercial liability insurance is essential to protecting contractors.
This can be especially true for a landscaping business, electricians (for which business insurance is mandatory in Ontario) and other general contractors.
Learn how contractors can reduce their liability risk.
INSTALLATION FLOATERS
These are a common coverage area for contractors. This intends to provide protection to items that are installed at your customer premises. Miscellaneous Floaters are intended to cover property that is away from any of the insured business locations that are listed on their policy.
EQUIPMENT INSURANCE AND STOCK COVERAGE
Your property is important to you and if there is any vandalism to your business, fire damage to your equipment or other. Protecting your property is the intent of Equipment and Stock coverage. We will discuss your options with you and ensure proper limits are in place. Your tools are easily one of your most valuable assets, so if stolen from your building, at a job site or somewhere else, we can help you protect those assets too!
