Why Businesses Like Yours Need Handyman Business Insurance
Handyman business insurance is important to companies like yours, where injuries, equipment damage, and property damage are all commonplace. General liability or a BOP can cover customer property damage and injuries to non-employees, and you can include add-on coverage for equipment and tool repair or replacement costs if appropriate. To protect your business and employees in the event of on-the-job injuries, you need workers’ comp insurance. And you should have commercial auto insurance if your business owns vehicles. If you have questions about handyman business insurance, contact our helpful insurance experts.

What are the Different Types of Handyman Insurance?
At biBERK, we offer six different types of handyman insurance for small business owners like you. Depending on the location of your business and other factors, certain policies might be better for you than others.
Workers' Compensation Insurance
This insurance helps protect your business if an employee is injured, contracts an illness, or dies as a result of an incident on the job. It can cover medical costs, legal fees, and lost wages due to the injury.
Workers' Compensationchevron_rightGeneral Liability Insurance
Also known as commercial liability insurance, a general liability policy covers damages and legal costs associated with injury claims by customers and other people you don't employ, damage to other people's property that was caused by your business, and medical costs associated with these incidents. It also covers libel, slander, and copyright infringement. Plus, there are endorsements you can add to customize your policy, including contractors installation, tools & equipment, cyber, hired and non-owned auto liability, employment-related practices liability, and employee benefits liability.
General Liabilitychevron_rightBusiness Owners Policy
Also called property & liability insurance, a business owners policy (BOP) combines general liability insurance with protection for your company’s property. If you own a workshop or have a storefront, a BOP can be an effective way to get the different coverages you need in one easy-to-manage policy. You can also tailor your BOP with add-ons including cyber, hired and non-owned auto liability, employment-related practices liability, and employee benefits liability.
Business Owners Policychevron_rightCommercial Auto Insurance
If your company owns or leases vehicles, this policy protects your business. This type of insurance can provide coverage for your legal fees and the medical costs of others if your employee is at fault in an accident. It can cover the cost of damages even if the vehicle is used for personal activities outside of its primary business use.
Commercial Autochevron_rightCyber Insurance
This coverage can be purchased as an add-on to a general liability, professional liability, or BOP policy. It helps cover costs related to system hacks or data security breaches in which sensitive data, like customer credit card information, has been stolen and fraud has occurred or there is a reasonable expectation that it might occur.
Cyber Insurancechevron_rightUmbrella Insurance
Every insurance policy you purchase has a maximum value that it will cover in the event of an incident. Umbrella insurance adds another layer of protection: it can cover costs that exceed the limit of another liability policy, subject to its own limit. Without it, you may be responsible for anything over your policy limit. Business liability suits can easily exceed the actual value of many small businesses, so we highly recommend an umbrella policy to protect your company.
