FAQ
Is workers' compensation insurance required for small businesses in Colorado?
Yes — in Colorado, nearly every business with employees is required to carry workers' compensation insurance, regardless of size, including businesses with just one part-time employee. We help Brighton-area business owners get properly covered and find the right carrier for their industry and payroll.
How is my workers' comp premium calculated?
Premiums are based on your total payroll, a classification code that reflects how risky your industry is, and your business's claims history over time. A lower-risk classification or a clean claims record can meaningfully lower your rate — we'll double-check your business is classified correctly, since a misclassification usually means overpaying.
What happens if I don't carry workers' comp in Colorado?
Operating without required coverage in Colorado can mean significant fines, a stop-work order, and personal liability for any workplace injury costs that would otherwise have been covered. It's one of the few policies where the cost of skipping it is almost always higher than the premium itself.
The Difference
We Care
Our focus is excellent customer service, it is very important to us. Unlike some agencies we answer the phone. If for some reason we are on the phone with another client, we will call you back as soon as possible. * We understand your time is valuable.
Extra Mile
We have taken our own time to research different things for customers to help them out, ie, I spent 1.5 hours researching to find a non-profit that would help one of our customers get a new roof because her roof was old and the insurance company would not replace it because it did not have hail damage. She needed a new roof but was not able to purchase one because she was single and on a limited budget.
New Car
If you are shopping for a new car and have the Vin number, we are happy to provide you with a quote for the possible new car. For our current customers if they go to a dealership after hours and make arrangements with us prior to going to the dealership we will give them a quote for the new car they are looking to purchase. We do not want our customers to have sticker shock after the purchase of a new car. Some cars can have very high insurance costs and we maybe able to help you make a more informed decision about the purchase.
