Questions owners ask

A few useful answers.

Can I start a new service because my existing business is insured?

Do not infer that. Describe the new activities to the insurer or licensed professional and confirm the applicable policy terms.

Does this teach a washing method?

No. It organizes business preparation and insurance questions. Equipment, chemical and height safety require appropriate training.

Can I use it for roof or commercial work?

You can record those proposed activities. The planner will flag preparation questions without deciding safety, licensing, eligibility or coverage.
