Commercial Insurance Built Around Your Business
No two businesses have exactly the same insurance needs.
A contractor with employees, work trucks and expensive tools faces very different risks than a retail store or commercial property owner. That's why we don't believe business insurance should be treated as a one-size-fits-all product.
We take the time to understand what your company does, where you operate, what equipment and vehicles you own, whether you have employees or subcontractors, and what insurance requirements your customers may place on you.
From there, we can help determine which commercial insurance policies and coverage limits make sense for your operation.
Depending on your business, coverage may include:
General Liability Insurance
Commercial general liability insurance can help protect your business from claims involving bodily injury, property damage and other covered liability exposures.
For contractors, general liability is often required before working for general contractors, commercial customers or property owners.
We can also help you understand common contractual insurance requirements involving additional insured status, primary and noncontributory wording, waivers of subrogation and certificates of insurance.

Commercial Auto Insurance
If your business owns trucks, vans or other vehicles, a personal auto policy may not provide the protection your company needs.
Commercial auto insurance can provide liability and physical damage coverage for vehicles used in your business.
We work with businesses ranging from individual contractors with one work truck to companies operating multiple commercial vehicles.
Coverage options may also include hired and non-owned auto liability when appropriate.

Workers' Compensation Insurance
If you have employees, workers' compensation can help provide benefits for covered work-related injuries and illnesses.
Even when workers' compensation isn't legally required for every Texas employer, customers and general contractors may require businesses to carry it before allowing them onto a jobsite.
We'll help you evaluate your operation and find an appropriate workers' compensation solution.

Commercial Property Insurance
Your building isn't the only property your business may need to protect.
Commercial property insurance can help cover buildings, business personal property, inventory, equipment and other covered property against qualifying losses.
Whether you own your building or lease your location, we can help determine which property exposures need to be addressed.

Tools & Equipment Coverage
For contractors, tools don't always stay at the office.
Tools and equipment coverage—often written as contractors equipment or inland marine coverage—can help protect eligible tools and equipment while they're being transported or used away from your primary business location, subject to policy terms and exclusions.
This can be particularly important for plumbers, HVAC contractors, electricians and other trades that carry valuable equipment from job to job.
Commercial Umbrella Insurance
A serious accident can exceed the liability limits of an underlying policy.
Commercial umbrella or excess liability insurance can provide additional limits above certain underlying liability policies.
Higher limits are also increasingly required in commercial contracts, particularly for contractors working for larger companies or property owners.
Builders Risk Insurance
Building a new structure or renovating an existing property creates exposures that aren't typically handled by a standard commercial property policy.
Builders risk insurance can provide coverage for eligible buildings and materials during construction or renovation.
Bergen Insurance Agency works with contractors, property owners, investors and developers needing builders risk coverage throughout Texas.

Contractor Bonds
Some contractors need bonds to satisfy licensing, permitting or contractual requirements.
We can help with many types of contractor and commercial bonds and help determine what information the bonding company will need.

Contractor Insurance Is One of Our Specialties
Contractors face insurance issues that many businesses never encounter.
You're working at customers' properties. Employees and subcontractors may be moving between jobsites. Trucks are on the road every day. Expensive tools travel from one project to another. Customers may require specific insurance limits and endorsements before work can begin.
Bergen Insurance Agency understands these exposures.
We help insure:
- Plumbing contractors
- HVAC contractors
- Electrical contractors
- General contractors
- Remodeling contractors
- Landscaping and maintenance contractors
- Construction businesses
- Other skilled trades
A contractor insurance program may combine general liability, commercial auto, workers' compensation, tools and equipment coverage, commercial property, umbrella liability, builders risk and bonds.
Just as importantly, we're here when your customer asks for a certificate of insurance or your contract contains insurance requirements you don't understand.

Frequently Asked Questions About Business Insurance
What insurance does a small business in Texas need?
It depends on the type of business and its exposures. Common policies include general liability, commercial property, commercial auto and workers' compensation. Contractors may also need tools and equipment coverage, builders risk, bonds and commercial umbrella coverage.
How much does business insurance cost in Weatherford, Texas?
Business insurance premiums vary considerably based on your industry, payroll, sales, location, claims history, number of vehicles, property values, coverage limits and other underwriting factors.
The best way to determine your cost is to obtain quotes based on your specific business.
Do Texas businesses have to carry workers' compensation?
Texas differs from most states because many private employers aren't generally required by state law to carry workers' compensation insurance. However, certain employers and contracts may have different requirements, and customers or general contractors frequently require contractors to provide evidence of workers' compensation coverage.
Does general liability cover my work trucks?
Generally, no. Commercial general liability policies typically exclude most automobile liability exposures.
Businesses that own or operate vehicles will generally need appropriate commercial auto coverage.
Can you insure contractors?
Yes. Contractor insurance is one of Bergen Insurance Agency's primary commercial specialties. We work with plumbers, HVAC contractors, electricians, general contractors and other trades.
Can you provide certificates of insurance?
Yes. We help our commercial customers with certificates of insurance and can help review insurance requirements involving additional insureds and other commonly requested endorsements. Coverage and endorsement availability depend on the policy and carrier.
Can you insure a new business?
Yes. Insurance options for startups depend on the type of operation and the carrier's underwriting requirements. We can help determine which insurance companies may consider your business.
Can Bergen Insurance Agency insure businesses outside Weatherford?
Yes. While we're located in Weatherford and serve Parker County extensively, Bergen Insurance Agency can assist eligible businesses throughout Texas and in other states where we're licensed.
