Texas Commercial Insurance — FAQs

What’s the cheapest policy to start with?

Most small businesses begin with General Liability or a BOP. Add Workers’ Comp, Auto, Tools/Equipment, and Umbrella as contracts and exposure grow.

Can I get an instant COI for a job or lease?

Often yes. Many markets provide instant certificates after binding. Share contract wording early so AI/PNC and Waiver are in place.

Do you handle trucking and fleets?

Yes. We quote light/heavy units, radius, driver MVRs, and cargo/reefer where applicable—plus Umbrella when shippers require higher limits.

How do I keep premiums down?

Buy the limits your contracts require, keep clean loss runs, separate high-risk scopes, and ask us to stack credits (bundles, pay-in-full, device/safety).

Are you tied to one carrier?

No. We’re an independent agency and compare multiple companies to get the right balance of coverage and price.
