Quote checklist

What to have ready

None of this is required to start. Having it handy just makes the conversation faster when your agent calls.

  • Business name, what you do, and how long you have operated
  • Approximate annual revenue and payroll
  • Number of employees and any subcontractors
  • Vehicles used for work, with year, make, and model
  • Drivers who use those vehicles
  • Your current policy declarations page, if you have one
  • Any contract or certificate requirements from clients

Business insurance questions

What should I have ready for a commercial auto quote?

The vehicles (year, make, model, and VIN if handy), who drives them, how they are used, where they are garaged, and your current policy if you have one.

What affects the price of a business insurance quote?

Mainly your type of work, revenue and payroll, number of employees, claims history, location, vehicles and drivers, and the coverage limits you choose. Each carrier weighs these differently.

Do contractors need general liability insurance?

Many clients, general contractors, and property owners require proof of general liability before work begins. Your agent can help you match the limits a contract asks for.

Is my personal auto policy enough for a work truck?

Often not. Personal auto policies may limit or exclude business use, so vehicles used for work usually need a commercial auto policy. Your agent can review how your vehicles are used.

Do you write business insurance in both North and South Carolina?

Yes. Both Will and Jamie are licensed in North Carolina and South Carolina.
