Contractors work in varying locations every day. They also work with many different people and on a variety of tasks.

Many tradespeople find this unpredictable environment exciting. But it also carries some hefty risks.

What Is Contractor Insurance? Why Do You Need It?

Contractor insurance is a broad term. It refers to a variety of coverages - some mandatory and others optional.

Mandatory Coverages:

In Ontario, all contractors must have commercial general liability (CGL) insurance. Without it, you are not permitted to run a business.

This general coverage legally and financially protects you in the case of,

a) personal injury and/or

b) property damage claims.
 

Optional Coverages:

Other contractor insurance coverages are optional. This means you can add them to your general liability policy.

Add-On Coverages:

  • Installation Floaters
  • Builders Risk
  • Tool Floaters
  • Pollution
  • Performance Bonds
  • Contractors Surety Bonds

These coverages vary according to your unique business.
