How Much Does General Liability Insurance Cost?
Get a free General Liability Insurance quote from The Hartford The cost of a General Liability (GL) policy premium varies widely depending on the business. Several factors are baked in to the calculations that ultimately determine a business's GL policy premium. These factors include the type of business – as you would imagine, companies in higher-risk industries, like construction, for example, are charged higher premiums than lower risk businesses, like consulting companies.
Other factors that figure into a premium rate calculation include the years of business experience in the industry, where more experience may equate to lower rates; and the location, size, and condition of your business premises. Sometimes your insurance claims history can also be a factor.
Then there are policy-specific details that also affect your rate such as coverage limits – higher coverage limits cost more. On the other hand, electing higher deductibles can help lower your premium cost.
