What type of insurance does a janitorial business need?

Janitorial work often involves operating in client spaces after hours, handling chemicals, and using equipment that can cause damage if mishandled. Core coverages include: 

  • General Liability – protects against third-party injury or property damage claims. 
  • Workers’ Compensation – required in most states if you have employees, covering work-related injuries or illnesses.
