Yes, a contractor's liability insurance company must be licensed by the state of California to operate legally. Insurance companies are regulated by the California Department of Insurance, which ensures they meet specific financial and operational standards. Contractors should verify that their insurance provider is licensed to ensure compliance and adequate coverage.

How much does financial liability coverage cost for an insurance broker?

While there is no insurance category for, "financial liability", let's assume that you are asking about "professional liability" which is sometimes also referred to as "errors & omissions". The first question would be how the insurance broker is licensed. Life & Health or Property/Casualty (or both). Professional liability for a Life & Health producer is relatively inexpensive; usually only a few hundred dollars a year. Of course if the Life & Health producer is also licensed for securities, this can increase somewhat. Professional liability for a Property/Casualty producer is significantly more expensive, and can vary depending upon the producer's specialties. If we're only talking about homeowners, auto, small business, then the premium for, say, $1 Million, might start around $1,500/year. If the producer specializes in more complex forms of insurance, the premiums may be higher by, say, 100%-200% per year.
