Thanks everyone, that helps. By the way, can somebody explain the meaning of "Gully".  Not up on that term/slang(is it Canadian?)

????

 

shouldn't a newbie have MORE insurance??

 

he's more likely to use it isn't he??

 

if you want any commercial work I'd go 2 million personally

 

it's really not very expensive.....mine is less than $100 a month

 

but it was tough to get at first

I think the first item that one should consider is:

a.  Are you just starting out?  b. Or, do you have some time in this business?

Big difference here in terms of "how much" insurance protection to have.

Now, this goes without saying that if your budget is unlimited (most are not), then the sky's the limit. How could anyone go wrong on that judgement?!

However, "What is your exposure thus far"? No jobs, no exposure. First job, very little exposure, and so on......

Personally, I would "start" at $500,000 and as you build your business, re-look at your position of exposure AND accumulated wealth.

 

Good Fortune to all;

2 million is considered the minimum by most people looking for insurance coverage.

For those of you who are a one man operation and carry business insurance -  just wondering how much liability insurance you think is sufficient? ($300,000, $500,000, 1mil)
