Protection for Your Business!
Commercial insurance, also known as business insurance, can help protect businesses from losses due to unexpected events during normal business operations, such as lawsuits, natural disasters, or accidents. There are many types of commercial insurance for businesses, including coverage for property damage, legal liability, professional mistakes, and employee-related risks, among others.
We can help you choose the right types of coverages to customize a policy that meets your unique needs.

If you run a home-based business, commercial property insurance provides more coverage than what you’d have with a typical homeowners insurance policy.

Bond Insurance
Bond insurance is a type of insurance policy that a bond issuer purchases that guarantees the repayment of the principal and all associated interest payments to the bondholders in the event of default. A critical difference between bonds and insurance is that insurance protects your business if you are accused of wrongdoing. In contrast, a surety bond protects your client's business if you’ve done something wrong.
Contractor’s Insurance
Contractor insurance protects your construction business in case of lawsuits, on-the-job injuries, damage to your equipment, lost income and more. This policy can be a custom built to address the specific risk that comes with the job.
For example, if you accidentally damage someone’s home while doing a job, the general liability portion of your contractor’s insurance can pay for repairs.
The contractor's liability insurance covers claims arising from damage a contractor causes to a third party. This is one of the most crucial insurance coverages a for a contractor should get since it covers the liability risks associated with ongoing business operations (while at the job site). Coverage is also available for the business owner for legal liability relating to advice or services offered to clients. Other types of insurance may also be relevant to a contractor, such as insurance against loss of income.
Business/Commercial Auto
Coverage is available for the vehicle use for your business, whether it's for your business in town or your farm/ranch out in the country. Coverage for you and your employees on the road if you drive business-owned vehicles for work, this coverage can help pay for property damage and medical expenses from an accident.
