The Benefits To Contractors

1. Certainty
Certainty of policy coverage and policy response. In cases where another party is responsible for arranging the insurance terms of cover may change. For example, deductibles may be increased, cover deleted or the policy cancelled without the contractor being consulted.

2. Choice
Ability to choose the insurer.

3. Control over claims funds
Where the sub-contractor is simply noted on the Principal’s policy, they may not have control on how the Principal spends the claims funds.

4. Reduced possibility
Reduced possibility of contractual disputes following an insured event.

5. Continuity of project
Reduces reliance on Principal in the event of an insurance claim. This reduces risk of loss of reputation and/or contractual dispute with Principal customer following an insured event.

6. Reduced exposure
Reduces exposure to high deductible of Principal’s insurance providing greater certainty of policy cover and improved balance sheet protection.
