What businesses typically pay for General Liability insurance
General liability can cost as little as $11 for some low-risk businesses. About 50% of NEXT customers pay less than $25 monthly.**
The difference between cheap business insurance and more expensive options depends on a variety of factors, including:
- How high you set your limits — If you want more coverage, you’ll typically need to pay a higher premium.
- Your business operations — Low-risk businesses generally have lower insurance costs because they are less likely to have a serious insurance claim. Higher-risk jobs, such as construction contractors, typically pay more for insurance because there is more potential for an injury or property damage.
- Your insurance claims history — If your insurance history includes a previous claim, you might have to pay more for coverage with a new policy.
