Commercial Insurance Hub for Orange & Lake County, FL

Typical core policies:

• General Liability (GL): trip/fall, property damage, personal/advertising injury.
• Commercial Property / BOP: your building, tenant improvements, contents, equipment, inventory, signs.
• Workers’ Compensation: employee injuries/illnesses (required based on headcount & industry).
• Commercial Auto: business-use vehicles, hired & non-owned auto (HNOA).
• Professional Liability (E&O): advice/service mistakes (contractors, consultants, tech, financial, etc.).
• Cyber: phishing, ransomware, data breach, notification & regulatory costs.
• Umbrella: extra liability limits over GL/Auto/Employers Liability.

Not by statewide law. GL isn’t universally mandated in Florida, but landlords, job sites, municipalities, and contracts often require it. We strongly recommend GL for any customer-facing or job-site work.

• Construction: 1+ employees (including owners) → required.
• Non-construction: 4+ employees (full- or part-time) → required.
• Agriculture: 6+ regular or 12+ seasonal (≥30 days in a season and >45 days/year) → required.

Ask us about corporate officer/LLC member exemptions and how they impact premium.

Usually, yes. Personal auto policies often exclude regular business use. If you transport tools/supplies, have wrapped/lettered vehicles, employees who drive, or you run deliveries/field work, you’ll likely need Commercial Auto (and often Hired & Non-Owned Auto for employee errands or DoorDash/Uber-type exposures). Florida requires at least PIP and PDL by law; commercial contracts typically require higher liability limits.

• Non-residential commercial property: policies often use a Wind/Hail % deductible or a Named-Storm % deductible. The exact trigger (hurricane vs named storm vs any wind) is defined by the policy form.
• Commercial residential (e.g., condos/apartments) & homeowners: Florida statute governs the hurricane deductible rules (calendar-year application, % options). Surplus lines can differ.

Bottom line: your specific policy wording controls the trigger and percentage—let us review it with you before storm season.

• GL: $1,000,000 per occurrence / $2,000,000 aggregate is the most common request.
• Auto: $1,000,000 CSL is typical for jobsite & GC requirements.
• Umbrella: $1–5M+ depending on payroll, fleet size, and contracts.

Always match the bid specs. We’ll align endorsements (AI, Primary & Non-Contributory, Waiver of Subrogation) to avoid rework.

Yes—same-day COIs for most requests. Please include the holder’s legal name, address, required wording, and any deadline. Endorsements that change the policy (AI, Waiver, PNC) are usually quick once approved.

• Additional Insured (AI): extends your GL/Auto liability protection to the certificate holder for your work.
• Primary & Non-Contributory (PNC): your policy responds first without seeking contribution from the AI’s policy.
• Waiver of Subrogation: your insurer agrees not to recover from a party that may share fault.

• Bundle smart: BOP + GL + Auto + Umbrella can unlock credits.
• Risk controls: driver MVR standards, telematics, fleet schedules, contracts with hold-harmless/AI/waivers from subs.
• Property hardening: roof condition, opening protection, alarms/sprinklers, documented maintenance.
• Deductibles: consider modest increases on property; avoid extreme % wind deductibles that blow up cash flow after a storm.
• Accurate classifications/payrolls/revenue: audit clean-up prevents overpaying.

• Legal entity, FEIN, years in business, scope of operations, top customers.
• Locations (addresses, construction/roof year, alarms/sprinklers), equipment & inventory values.
• Annual/payroll by class, subcontractor use %, certificates from subs.
• Vehicle list (VINs), drivers (DL & years licensed), current limits/deductibles.
• 5-year loss runs (or NA), revenue by operation, required contract endorsements.

Absolutely. We place new ventures every week. We’ll right-size coverage so you can scale without surprises.

Because most losses start with email and end in downtime. Cyber covers incident response, data restoration, legal/regulatory costs, customer notifications/credit monitoring, and often business interruption after a cyberattack.

We help businesses across Orange & Lake County: Winter Garden, Windermere, Clermont, Minneola, Ocoee, Oakland, Horizon West, Apopka, Leesburg, Tavares, Eustis, Mount Dora, and more.

Coverage can replace lost net income and pay ongoing/extra expenses to keep you operating after a covered physical loss. Triggers, waiting periods (e.g., 72 hours), and deductibles vary—especially with wind/hurricane language. Ask us to verify your form now so you’re not learning terms at FNOL.
