What is Janitorial Services Insurance?
Janitorial services insurance is a package of business insurance policies designed to help protect your cleaning business from common risks.
Most states expect cleaning businesses to carry general liability insurance at minimum. In many cases, you also need workers compensation insurance, commercial auto coverage for business owned vehicles, and professional liability insurance if your janitorial professionals provide specialized services.
Janitorial insurance helps protect your business against the surprises that can happen in a customer’s home, at a commercial job site, or anywhere your crew works.
Who Needs Janitorial Services Insurance?
Janitorial services insurance is essential for:
- Cleaning businesses of any size
- Janitorial professionals providing recurring services
- Cleaning companies that transport cleaning supplies, cleaning equipment, or business owned vehicles
- Janitorial businesses that work on client property at offices, medical facilities, schools, retail stores, and more
If your business interacts with clients, handles equipment, manages cleaning supplies, transports teams, or enters another’s property, you need liability insurance that matches your exposure.
What Does Janitorial Services Insurance Cover?
A strong janitorial business insurance plan typically includes:
General Liability Insurance
A general liability policy protects your business from claims of bodily injury or property damage caused by your work.
If a client slips, trips, or suffers personal injury, general liability insurance helps cover medical expenses, related medical expenses, and associated medical costs.
It can also provide coverage if your team damages a client’s property during routine cleaning services.
Professional Liability Insurance
Professional liability insurance protects your business if a client claims your services were done in a false and unflattering way or did not meet expectations.
This is especially important for janitorial professionals who handle specialized or high standard cleaning tasks.
Commercial Property Insurance
Commercial property insurance protects your business property, including cleaning equipment, cleaning supplies, and other tools essential to daily work.
Physical damage from fire, storms, or theft can bring operations to a halt. This coverage keeps you working.
Workers Compensation Insurance
States require most businesses with employees to carry workers compensation. It pays for medical costs, lost wages, and additional coverage needed if an employee is hurt while working. If your business is growing and you plan to hire employees, this is essential.
Commercial Auto Insurance
If you use business owned vehicles to transport your team, equipment, or supplies, commercial auto helps cover claims involving physical damage or accidents.
Equipment Coverage
Equipment coverage helps protect essential tools your janitorial service company depends on every day. If a vacuum, floor machine, or other tool breaks unexpectedly or is damaged on a job site, this coverage helps you recover faster.
Additional Coverage Options
Your janitor insurance plan may include options based on your unique risks, including coverage limits tailored to the size of your team and the scope of your services.
How Much Does Janitorial Services Insurance Cost?
Business insurance cost varies based on your work, the size of your team, the value of your equipment, and your coverage needs.
Insurance cost is also influenced by how many locations you serve, your cleaning equipment, the number of clients you handle, and your overall exposure.
