For most business owners, one of the most significant recurring expenses they face is the cost of insurance.� Similar to many other business owners, contractors need to carry a few different types of insurance policies to ensure that they are compliant and stay covered.

� �

One form of insurance that they will need to carry is general liability insurance.� General liability insurance will cover a contractor in the event that something goes wrong when they are working on a project.� This could protect them from lawsuits filed from both their customers as well as current and former employees who are hurt on the job.

The answer depends on how the contractor is employed by the association. If the contractor is bonded, insured and licensed -- best practices indicate this is the best position for the association, to require these documents from a contractor -- then the association's insurance requirements are different from those required by an association that hires a casual laborer. Review your insurance requirements with your broker, and describe how you plan to use the contractor on a regular basis, or a one-time basis. Your broker can best advise you about the insurance you need.
