Types of Cleaning Business Insurance

Liability Insurance

Liability insurance coverage protects your business from someone who claims to have been hurt or injured as a result of your business. It also protects you in the event that there is property damage caused by your business.

Liability insurance will pay damages to third parties for bodily injury and property damage up to the limits of your policy if your business is held legally liable. It will also pay legal fees and medical bills for those injured as a result of your business.

House Cleaning Bonding Insurance

Bonding Insurance is commonly referred to as a Janitorial Service Bond, Employee Dishonesty Bond, or Business Service Bond. Bonding Insurance protects your business in the event of a fraudulent or dishonest act committed by one of your employees while at a customers home. The bond will pay third parties if your business is held legally liable up to your bond amount.

Workers Compensation Insurance

Workers Compensation Insurance will help cover medical expenses and a portion of lost wages to an employee who is hurt on the job.

Property Damage Insurance

Property damage insurance compensates your business for property that is lost or damaged due to common perils such as theft or fire.

Business Vehicle Insurance

Business Vehicle Insurance provides coverage for vehicles that are owned and used by your cleaning company. This insurance helps to pay any costs for bodily injury or property damage to a third party for which your business is held legally liable up to the limits on your policy. Your insurance company may also pay to repair or replace your vehicles in the event damage was caused by accidents, theft, or flooding.
