Markel brings you the insurance coverage you need for your business.
Not only are you a contractor, you’re a business owner. You’ve probably spent more than one sleepless night thinking about what could go wrong, but may have become frustrated by the lack of offerings, the prices, inadequate customer service or just the simple fact that these policies didn’t seem to take your needs into account.
A Markel insurance policy is designed specifically for residential and commercial building services contractors. Our policy is uniquely suited to your business needs. We can even cover the tools you need to get the job done.
Why do artisan contractors need insurance?
Your small business is not too small to have someone file a claim against you or to have an injured employee file for workers compensation. And from accounts receivables to water damage, you can get the coverage that your business needs. If you’re involved in the building trades, an artisan contractor or deal in residential or commercial building services, you can customize your contractors’ insurance coverage to match your business needs.
