Type of Trades Insurance Coverage
Talk to our Huronia business insurance brokers about the different kinds of trades insurance coverages available including:
Property Insurance
Many tradespeople work out of a commercial space. Whether you own or lease, be sure to protect your workspace with commercial property insurance. With property insurance, you will be covered in the event of any damages or loss caused by fire, water, accidental breakage, equipment theft, etc.
Contractor Liability Insurance
If you are in the trades industry, our Huronia service industry insurance brokers recommend that you protect yourself with all risk contractor liability insurance. We can help you understand what each of the coverages mean including contractors bid bond insurance and wrap up liability insurance, if required.
Trades Equipment Insurance
Most tradespeople, like carpenters and electricians, rely heavily on their equipment to do business. If this applies to you, then we highly recommend you consider getting equipment insurance including:
Cost of Equipment Coverage
Equipment Breakdown Insurance
Business Income Insurance
Make business interruption insurance a part of your business income insurance coverage. In the event of a disaster, theft, vandalism, or equipment breakdown, you will be reimbursed for the income you would have received had the unfortunate event not occurred.
Commercial Auto Insurance
Many people in the trades also require commercial auto insurance coverage. Whether you need single commercial vehicle insurance coverage or commercial fleet insurance, we can help you there as well.
