Good afternoon guys. I know this question has been asked before but I am looking to get specific with it. I started a roofing company as a side business in Oklahoma, nothing more.
However, I am having trouble finding a reasonable company to use for my g.l. policy. I will be a sole proprietor with little to no overhead. I will use a sub-contractor who carries his own general liability and workman’s comp. I also will be performing some commercial but that wouldn’t be anytime soon. Some of the bids I am getting are all around 3,8000 annually for $1,000,000.00 in coverage for only 60k in sales. I find this ridiculous for such a low number of sales and that 60k was being generous in my opinion. Does anyone have any thoughts? The last thing I want to do is do business with a less than reputable insurance provider
Yep. You have no history. That quote is probably based on you telling them you are doing this as a side job. Find a Risk Retention policy. you will be a shareholder in the coverage. That should help your rate.
Did you ever find a reasonable Insurance provider or policy? I’m in a similar position here in Oklahoma and cannot find reasonable rates anywhere. Thanks
