Coterie is one of 40+ carriers we work with. When we run your business past several of them at once we can compare what each will actually offer — and that often turns up a better fit, especially if you’ve had a prior claim, run more than one location, or need endorsements specific to your trade. One call, no obligation, and we handle the certificates afterwards.
Our partner Coterie writes general liability, professional liability and Business Owners Policies for most small business classes in all 50 states, on A-rated admitted paper. Answer a few questions, see a bindable price, and download your certificate yourself. Built for businesses under 50 employees and under $10M revenue at a single location — contractors up to 15 employees. Some classes and loss histories aren’t eligible.

General liability for a solo appliance-repair technician is typically one of the more affordable trade policies — often a few hundred dollars a year up to roughly $1,000+, depending on revenue and limits. Adding tools and equipment coverage is a modest extra. We compare carriers and right-size the limit to what your marketplaces and contracts require.
