You’re an army of helping hands working with wood, wire, glass, pavers, platers, appliances and more. You put a shine on the places we live and work. But what happens if the shine rubs off and there’s a problem?
What if a client claims the parquet floor you laid isn’t level? Someone gets hurt tripping over your tools? Or a priceless vase topples as you brush past?
Luckily, broken glass doesn’t have to mean shattered revenue. Artisan contractor insurance can help you pick up the pieces.
Because even if an accident wasn’t your fault, you can still be sued. And that can be painful – for your wallet.
If a case goes to court and gets drawn out, you’re looking at legal bills of 5, maybe even 6 figures. Then there’s compensation to pay, if you’re found at fault.
Even if a case is groundless, general liability insurance for artisans can pay your legal bills and damages.
So be crafty. Get covered.
General liability insurance doesn’t cover claims for work you’ve done or the services you provided. That’s what professional liability (or errors and omissions) insurance is for.
If a client claims you made a mistake, or your work was faulty, and it cost them money it can pay your legal fees and compensation. Even if there are no grounds for the claim.
And because customers can sue you whether you made a mistake or not, it’s a handy tool to have at your disposal. What’s more, as coverage can be retroactive, professional liability insurance can protect you from the cost of claims made over work you did in the past, too.
Our policies are designed for small businesses and start-ups. So there’ll be a price to suit your pocket even if you work solo.
But it’s worth bearing mind that the cost of your coverage will be affected by things like:
If you’ve been in business for years with no history of problems, your insurance will cost less than someone who’s just starting out. Or who’s had lots of claims in the past.
And if you’re a one-man band who sticks to small projects, you’ll pay a lot less for artisan insurance than a major contractor with a big team.
Choosing a higher deductible (the amount you’ll contribute towards the cost if there’s a claim) will reduce your premium. Just be sure you could actually afford to pay that amount if there’s a claim.
Whatever the cost, there’s a package to suit your particular business needs. And payment options, too, so you can spread the cost to suit your budget.
Business personal property insurance (BPP)
If you take equipment like laptops and mobiles to meetings, this policy is worth having. It also covers the portable stuff in your office - from your furniture to your potted plants.
More infoBusiness owner's policy (BOP)
Comes with general liability, property, and business equipment insurance as standard. Plus, a range of optional add-ons, including coverage for:
Cyber liability insurance
If you use email, own a website, or store client data, cyber insurance is a must. It can’t stop a cyber-attack, but it can pay your recovery costs so your business survives from one.
More infoWorkers' compensation insurance
Most states require you to have this policy even if you only have one employee. It’s good to have anyway. It protects your business from the cost of workplace illness and injury claims which can be crippling.
