Frequently Asked Questions
Is a BOP better than standalone General Liability?
If you keep inventory/equipment or need Business Income, a BOP often delivers better value than GL alone. We’ll price both so you can compare.
Do I need separate wind/hail coverage?
Most property policies include wind/hail, but deductibles and roof settlement (RCV vs ACV) vary. We’ll review options for your roof age and county.
Do I need flood insurance for my business?
Standard property policies exclude flood. If you’re near waterways or low-lying areas, a separate flood policy for building and contents is smart protection.
Can you match my contract’s insurance wording?
Yes. We align Additional Insured, Primary & Non-Contributory, Waiver of Subrogation, per-project aggregate, and HNOA endorsements where eligible.
How fast can you issue a certificate of insurance?
Often the same day after binding. We handle holder updates, renewals, and project-specific endorsements promptly.
