How much is contractor insurance?
There are many factors that go into quoting your contractor insurance cost. The physical location of your place of business can impact your premium, and there are other key details that can adjust the pricing. The number of employees, and the total cost of your business’ equipment, supplies and materials can also play a key role in determining independent contractor insurance costs. Contractor liability insurance quotes follow those same general rules as well.
