Any one can provide info on where to go to get a small handyman business Gen Liability policy?? No painting, just some fence work and some minor concrete grinding. max payroll 300 K per year. 90 % of the work is fences repair and maintenance, ( wood fencing).
Thanks

I had a handyman that I wrote with Colonial General under $700 in AZ. Handyman has been in business for 3 years, no prior insurance.

Try Builders & Tradesman Insurance Services or BTIS in Sacramento area. They are pretty reasonable

Colony is very aggressive on this class in California. However, your risk does not sound like a handyman, with $300,000 in payroll. In California, a handyman is limited to jobs under $500, and is not required to be licensed to do that sort of work.

You may have more luck marketing this risk as a true artisan contractor.
