Protect Your Small Business with Florida Artisan Contractor Insurance

In Florida’s booming housing market, skilled tradespeople such as plumbers, electricians, painters, masons, landscapers, and other contractors, are constantly in demand. As you build a successful and lucrative business providing these services, remember to safeguard that business from claims and lawsuits which might result from something you do (or fail to do) while on the job. Protect your small business with Florida artisan contractors insurance.

What is Florida artisan contractors insurance?

Florida artisan contractors insurance is specifically designed to meet the insurance needs of artisan contractors such as landscapers, plumbers, painters, electricians, carpenters, HVAC professionals, and those who install drywall, siding, or floor coverings. Coverage options available include:

General liability—protects your business from claims and lawsuits if a third party is injured or property gets damaged while you’re on a job. Liability coverage may also protect you from damage done to your business by slander or false advertising.

Property insurance—covers your business premises if it is damaged or destroyed by a covered peril.

Coverage for tools and equipment—Florida artisan contractors need specialized tools, machinery, and equipment to do their jobs. This coverage will help you if your equipment is damaged or stolen.

Business auto coverage—If you use your vehicle primarily for business, or if it’s owned by your business, you must have business vehicle coverage. Personal auto policies usually do not coverage business use of your vehicles.

Workers comp—In Florida, businesses with even one employee need workers comp coverage. This coverage pays for medical treatments, loss of wages, and other expenses if an employee is injured on the job.

Not only does Florida artisan contractors insurance give you peace of mind—it will also help your clients have confidence in you as well. With Florida artisan contractors insurance, you’ll easily be able to provide certificates of insurance to your clients as needed.
