From restaurants and contractors to medical offices and haulers — Group Coverage tailors protection to the real risks of your trade.
A bakery worries about fryers, delivery vans, and spoiled inventory. A law firm worries about client data and the advice it gives. A trucking fleet worries about drivers, cargo, and miles. The exposures change completely from one trade to the next — the obligation to insure them does not. What actually differs is which policies do the work, how they are written, and where the gaps open up.
Nearly every state requires workers’ compensation once you have employees, and any vehicle titled to the business needs commercial auto liability. A handful of states — New York and New Jersey among them — add statutory disability benefits on top.
Landlords, lenders, franchisors, and large customers each set their own limits and endorsements. The certificate gets requested before the lease is signed, before the loan closes, and before the first day of work.
Everything the first two miss: one kitchen fire, one slip-and-fall, one ransomware email. The coverages nobody mandates are usually the ones that decide whether a business reopens.
36 industries, six categories. Every one of them is built from the same lines of coverage listed on this page — the difference is in the mix, the limits, and the endorsements. If your trade is not named below, it is almost certainly a variation of one that is.
If you do only one thing: write down every recurring deadline with the person responsible for it, and review the list quarterly. Most of what goes wrong in this practice is not a hard question answered incorrectly — it is a routine obligation that nobody owned.
Compliance work sits between disciplines, which is exactly why it falls through gaps. The payroll vendor assumes the broker handles ACA reporting. The broker assumes the accountant handles the 5500. The employer assumes someone does. Nobody does.
Group Coverage, Inc. has been placing employee benefits and business insurance since 1997, and we handle property and casualty, employee benefits, life and disability, and HR and payroll for many of the same clients. That combination matters here more than anywhere else in our practice: the classification decision that drives your workers’ compensation premium, the leave policy that shows up in an EPLI claim, and the plan document behind your 5500 are handled by people who talk to each other, in one office.
We are independent, so the payroll partner, the PEO and the carriers are all selected rather than assumed — and we will tell you when the bundled option is genuinely cheaper, and when it only looks that way.
