Questions to ask before buying coverage

  • Which policies are required by client, landlord, venue, lender, or platform contracts?
  • Are employees, contractors, vehicles, job sites, or customer data part of the risk?
  • What limits, deductibles, exclusions, and certificates will a client expect?
  • Does the policy match your state, revenue, payroll, services, and claims history?
