March Means Springtime and a Perfect Time for Small Contractors to Prepare for Their Busy Season
In March we say goodbye to winter and hello to spring. Small contractors also say hello to the start of their busy season. As contractors start planning for this new business, ensuring proper business insurance coverage should be a top priority. A Utica First artisan contractor policy can help.
Whether small contractors have been in business for years or are a new venture, protecting the business from financial loss should the unexpected occur is essential. Utica First understands the commonplace risks contractors—such as painters, landscapers, gutter cleaners—face, which include personal injuries, equipment damage, or property damage. Contractors face these risks each day, but can have peace of mind—should an unforeseen loss occur—that their businesses and crews are protected.
