What Does It Mean to Be Insured?
Being insured means your business carries policies that protect you from financial losses due to accidents, injuries, or property damage.
Common contractor insurance coverages include:
- General liability insurance: Covers third-party injuries and property damage.
- Workers’ compensation insurance: Covers employee injuries and lost wages.
- Commercial auto insurance: Protects company vehicles and drivers.
- Tools and equipment insurance: This covers your tools against theft, loss, or damage.
Insurance safeguards your business and helps cover costs if something goes wrong, whether it’s an injured customer, damaged property, or a vehicle accident.
What Does It Mean to Be Bonded?
Being bonded means your business has a surety bond, which guarantees that you will fulfill your work obligations and comply with local laws.
Common types of contractor bonds include:
- License and permit bonds: Required by many state or local governments.
- Bid bonds: Guarantee you’ll honor your bid if you win the contract.
- Performance bonds: Ensure you complete the project as promised.
- Payment bonds: Guarantee you’ll pay subcontractors, suppliers, and workers.
Bonds protect your clients and the public, if you fail to deliver on your contract, the bond provides financial compensation.
