Frequently Asked Questions

What insurance does a small business need in Florida?
At minimum, most Florida small businesses need general liability insurance and, if they have employees, workers' compensation. Florida law requires workers' comp for construction businesses with 1 or more employees and non-construction businesses with 4 or more employees. Many clients and landlords also require proof of general liability before doing business with you.
What is a Business Owner's Policy (BOP)?
A BOP bundles general liability insurance and commercial property insurance into one policy, typically at a lower combined cost than buying them separately. It's designed for small to mid-sized businesses with straightforward risk profiles. We can determine whether a BOP or standalone policies make more sense for your specific business.
Is general liability insurance required in Florida?
There is no Florida law that universally requires general liability insurance, but it is frequently required by clients, landlords, and contracts. Most licensed contractors in Florida are required to carry it as a condition of their license. Even if not required, it's an essential protection for any business that interacts with the public.
What does workers' compensation cover in Florida?
Workers' compensation covers medical expenses and lost wages for employees who are injured or become ill on the job. In Florida, most employers in the construction industry with 1+ employees and non-construction employers with 4+ employees are required to carry workers' comp. Agricultural employers have different thresholds.
How much does business insurance cost in Tampa?
Commercial insurance costs vary widely based on your industry, revenue, number of employees, and coverage needs. A general liability policy for a small service business in Tampa might start around $500–$1,000 per year. We compare rates across multiple commercial carriers to find the best fit for your budget and coverage needs.
