Estimate only. Real premiums depend on carrier, claims history and underwriting.

How it works

We apply an industry risk factor to your revenue and adjust for your coverage limit to estimate an annual general liability premium.

Often contractually required: landlords and clients frequently demand $1M/$2M GL.

The policy almost everyone needs

General liability covers the basics: a customer slips in your shop, you damage a client’s property, an advertising claim goes sideways. It’s often the first policy a small business buys and is frequently required by landlords and clients. Premiums scale with your industry’s risk and your revenue — a consultant pays a few hundred dollars; a roofer pays multiples of that.

Standard limits are $1M per occurrence / $2M aggregate; higher limits cost modestly more and are often demanded in contracts. Estimate yours above, then bundle it with property in a BOP to save.
