Colorado Commercial Insurance
Colorado's economy is one of the most diverse in the Mountain West — construction, cannabis, outdoor recreation, oil and gas, and technology all need industry-specific commercial coverage. As an independent broker licensed in CO, I build commercial insurance programs around your specific business — not a one-size-fits-all package.
Business coverage overview
Colorado businesses in construction, cannabis, outdoor recreation, technology, and professional services all need different combinations of coverage. Here's the commercial insurance menu and how we tailor it for your operation.
Business owners policy (BOP)
Bundles general liability and commercial property into one policy at a discount. Ideal for small to mid-size businesses with a physical location. Many BOPs can be endorsed for specific needs.
General liability
Covers bodily injury and property damage claims from third parties. Required by most commercial leases and many business contracts. We recommend at least $1M per occurrence.
Commercial property
Covers your business building, equipment, inventory, and improvements against fire, theft, vandalism, and covered weather events.
Workers' compensation
Required in Colorado for businesses with employees. Covers medical expenses and lost wages for work-related injuries — and protects the business from most employee injury lawsuits.
Professional liability / E&O
For businesses that provide professional advice, design, consulting, or other services. Covers claims arising from errors, omissions, or professional negligence.
Business income & interruption
If a covered loss forces you to temporarily close, this pays your continuing expenses and lost revenue while you rebuild. Often the most important coverage small businesses don't have.

Common Questions
Frequently asked questions
Do I need a Colorado business license to get commercial insurance?
You don't need a license to purchase commercial insurance, but a valid Colorado business registration helps establish your entity for the policy.
What's the difference between a BOP and a standalone GL policy?
A BOP bundles GL and commercial property at a package discount. A standalone GL policy covers liability only. If you have business property to protect, a BOP is usually more cost-effective.
How fast can I get a certificate of insurance?
Once your policy is bound, we can generate a certificate of insurance the same day — most are sent within a few hours.
I'm starting a new business. When should I get insurance?
Before you open. General liability claims can arise from your first day of operations. If you're signing a commercial lease, your landlord will require proof of insurance before you move in.
