Insurance premium question for consulting firm startup?
I’m thinking of starting a consulting company. It would basically be a Management Services type firm. No design, construction, manufacturing, etc..
I don’t want to call around for quotes just yet so I am wondering if anyone could give me a ROUGH idea regarding annual premium costs for the insurance coverages I will need. Specifically I’m wondering about Commercial General Liability, Workers’ Comp, Professional Liability, and personal Health Insurance (I’m young and healthy). Again just ballparks on what I can expect for annual premiums. If I had 1 or 2 co-owners how will that affect the rates?
Thanks!
Well, the big question is, what EXACTLY is management services? That’s not a workers comp class code. And what’s the EXPOSURE on the professional liability? What type of BUSINESS do you want to consult for, what are the EXACT services you’re going to render, how many employees, what’s the payroll and estimated sales?
AND, what’s going to be required by contract? Are “co-owners” partners, or shareholders? Are they active, or passive?
Expect these to be MINIMUMS, and it will only go up based on your answers above: GL, starting at $1,000 as a new venture, based on payroll or sales. Workers Comp, minimum premium of $500, but could be as much as 25% of your payroll. Depending on the class, minimum could be MUCH higher. Professional liability – plan on $1500 per employee. It could vary from $500 to $5,000, depending on the EXACT nature of the services rendered, per employee. Health insurance will be individually rated – with three non-related people, that’s not enough for a group in most states. So if you’re 25 and healthy, $250 a month for just you.
