Combines general liability and commercial property coverage for eligible businesses. Business income coverage may also be included, subject to policy terms.
Commercial Property
Helps protect covered buildings, business personal property, equipment and inventory against covered causes of loss.
Workers’ Compensation
Helps cover benefits for employees with covered work-related injuries or illnesses. We can discuss options based on your business and workforce.
Commercial Auto
Coverage for business vehicles, with liability and optional physical damage protection. Tell us about deliveries, job-site travel and employee vehicle use.
Professional Liability
Helps address covered claims alleging errors, negligence or failures in professional services or advice.

Tools & Equipment
Ask about inland marine coverage for tools and equipment used away from your premises. Theft, transport and job-site coverage depend on the policy.
Small Business Insurance in Waterbury, CT
A storefront, office and service business can have very different insurance needs. American Financial Solutions helps Waterbury small-business owners compare available options from multiple insurance companies and understand limits, deductibles and exclusions.
Tell us about your retail store, cleaning company, professional office, restaurant, auto repair business or commercial property. We review what you do, where you work, what you own or lease, and whether you have employees or business vehicles. Certain operations need specialized coverage beyond a standard liability policy or BOP.
Our Waterbury insurance agency also serves nearby communities including Wolcott, Naugatuck and Cheshire.
Contractor & Trades Insurance in Waterbury, CT
Handymen, carpenters, painters, electricians, plumbers, landscapers, cleaning businesses and property maintenance companies face risks both at the job site and on the road. We can help review insurance options based on your actual work, subject to carrier eligibility.
- General liability: Review limits and exclusions for your trade, including the treatment of completed work.
- Tools and equipment: Discuss portable tools, equipment values, storage and theft protection.
- Commercial auto: Review work trucks, vans, trailers and how vehicles are used.
- Employees and subcontractors: Discuss workers’ compensation options and the information insurers need about subcontracted work.
- Contracts and certificates: Share insurance requirements before accepting a job, including requested limits and additional-insured endorsements.
A certificate of insurance summarizes coverage; it does not itself change the policy or add an additional insured. Required endorsements must be arranged through the insurer.
Request a Contractor Insurance QuoteGeneral Liability vs. a Business Owners Policy
General liability focuses on covered claims made by others, such as a customer injury or damage to someone else's property. It generally does not insure your own tools, inventory or building.
A BOP packages general liability with commercial property coverage for an eligible business and may include business income coverage. It can be a practical option when you need both liability and property protection.
Workers’ compensation, commercial auto, professional liability and other specialized coverages usually require separate policies or endorsements. We help you compare the actual coverage offered rather than assuming one package covers every risk.

Frequently Asked Business Insurance Questions
What does business insurance cover?
Business insurance can combine coverage for liability claims, property damage, business income losses, employees and vehicles. Coverage depends on the policies purchased, covered causes of loss, limits and exclusions.
How much does business insurance cost in Waterbury, CT?
Pricing depends on your trade, revenue, payroll, employees, property values, vehicles, claims history and selected limits. We compare available options using your business details so you can review price alongside coverage.
What is the difference between general liability and a BOP?
General liability focuses on covered third-party injury and damage claims. A Business Owners Policy packages general liability with commercial property coverage for eligible businesses and may include business income coverage. Other risks may require separate policies or endorsements.
Do Connecticut contractors need general liability insurance?
Insurance requirements vary by trade, licensing or registration rules, and the contracts you accept. Customers, general contractors and landlords may require liability coverage and specific endorsements. Share your trade and contract requirements with us so we can review the coverage requested.
Do I need commercial auto insurance if I use my vehicle for work?
Business vehicle use should be disclosed to your insurance agent. Ownership, deliveries, transporting tools, employee drivers and other uses can affect the appropriate policy. A personal auto policy may not cover every business use.
Do I need workers’ compensation insurance?
Requirements depend on your business structure, employees and Connecticut rules. Tell us about employees, owners and subcontractors so we can review your operation and discuss appropriate coverage options.
Can you help with certificates of insurance and additional insureds?
Contact our team with the certificate holder information and contract requirements. A certificate summarizes coverage and does not change the policy. Additional-insured status requires the applicable policy provision or endorsement and is subject to insurer approval.
What information do I need for a business insurance quote?
Have your legal business name, address, description of all work, years in business, estimated revenue and payroll, employee count, subcontractor details, property and equipment values, vehicle information, claims history and current policy ready. Share contracts that specify insurance requirements.
Do you insure small businesses and contractors?
We help small businesses, contractors, landlords and other commercial operations compare available liability, property, commercial auto, workers’ compensation and related options. Eligibility and coverage depend on the insurer and your actual operations.
