Handyman Insurance, Do YOU need handyman insurance?
Whether or not you need insurance for your handyman work 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 insurance.
* Does your state require it? Clearly if your state requires that you have insurance it is not a good idea to go without.
* Does your target market include apartment complexes? If so 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? Some states do not required you to have a license but then you can be restricted on the cost of the job you are doing
* 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 consider holding off.
