THE PRIMERISK APPROACH
Home Service Risk Roadmap
Built around your trade, your team, and every service call.
Build the conversation around your trade.
We start with your operations and the questions that matter to your business.
- The repair, installation and maintenance work your team performs.
- Tools in work vehicles, equipment in storage and materials at job sites.
- Employees, subcontractors and vehicles used for business.
- Customer contracts and requirements for certificates or endorsements.
What to have ready.
A few details help make your first conversation more useful.
- Your trade and the services you offer.
- Vehicle and equipment details.
- Current policies, payroll and annual revenue estimates.
Questions worth asking.
Can one policy cover everything my business needs?
A package can combine some coverages, but your operations may call for additional policies or endorsements. Review vehicles, workers, mobile equipment and liability exposures individually.
What if I add a new service or hire an employee?
Tell your agent before the change takes effect when possible. New operations, payroll or vehicles can change the information insurers need and the coverage to consider.
Coverage availability and requirements depend on your operations, location and policy terms. An agent can help review your situation.
COVERAGE QUESTIONS, ANSWERED
Arizona Home Service Business Insurance
Home service businesses often need to coordinate general liability, workers’ compensation, commercial auto, and tools or equipment coverage. The right conversation depends on your trade, whether you repair or install, and what happens at the customer’s property.
| HVAC and plumbing | Explain refrigerants, water damage exposures, installation work, and equipment awaiting installation. Ask about pollution and completed-work limitations. |
|---|---|
| Electrical and remodeling | Describe the full scope of work, use of subcontractors, and work in occupied buildings. Review property damage and contract requirements. |
| Tools and vehicles | List tools carried in trucks, overnight storage arrangements, owned or rented vehicles, and employees using personal vehicles for business. |
What affects the cost?
Your trade, services, payroll, revenue, vehicle use, equipment values, claims history, and selected limits affect the information insurers need. Tell us about new services rather than relying on last year’s business description.
Is a business owner’s policy enough for my trade?
A business owner’s policy can combine property and general liability coverage for eligible businesses, but it does not answer every coverage need. Review employee injuries, business driving, mobile tools, installation work, and specialized liabilities separately.
ILLUSTRATIVE SCENARIO
Where policy details matter.
A service van is involved in a collision while carrying tools and equipment intended for installation. Vehicle liability, damage to the van, and loss of the tools or equipment may involve different coverages and deductibles.
Educational reference: NAIC: business owner policies. Examples do not establish coverage for a particular claim.
