Do you need handyman insurance?
The answer to this question is going to depend on several factors. If you answer yes to any of the following questions, it is probably a good idea to go ahead and buy it.
* Does your state require it?
* Does your target market include apartment complexes? Eventually, you may get an apartment deal. If you are just starting out, this is unlikely unless you are strongly targeting them.
* Are you planning to do any work on bank owned properties?
* Are you planning on getting licensed as a contractor or handyman? I’m not currently licensed because my state doesn’t require me to be. I just can’t do jobs over $1,000.
* Are you well established and can easily justify the expense?
* Do you where a helmet everywhere you go?
If you answer no to all of the following questions, you may to consider holding off. However it may be better safe than sorry. Shop out insurance for your handyman business and compare rates against coverages.
