Terminology of Contractor Insurance
Sometimes the insurance for a contracting business may be referred to as “Subcontractor Insurance”. In essence, this is no different than the contractor insurance package that we offer – whether you are operating as a sub to a general, or forming your own business relationships directly with your clients. The same kinds of insurance are applicable and we almost always recommend Commercial General Liability (CGL) as the foundation for good risk management for contractors.
