Hi! I'll help you put together a business insurance application. Tell me about your business in a sentence or two: what you do, where, and how big.
We’re Maple Roofing, a residential roofing company in South Carolina with 6 employees and 2 company vehicles. We’ve been in business 13 years, have 1 claim in the last 3 years, about 10% subcontracted work, and the tallest roof we’ve worked on is around 45 ft.
Just to check, I have Business vehicles: 2, Claims in last 3 years: 1, Years in business: 13, Tallest roof worked on (ft): 45, Work subcontracted (%): 10. Is that right? If not, what's the exact figure?
Yes, that’s correct: 2 company vehicles, 1 claim in the last 3 years, 13 years in business, tallest roof about 45 ft, and 10% of work subcontracted.
What’s your annual revenue?
I’m not sure of the exact annual revenue. I can check our accounting records and get you a number, but I don’t have it handy right now.
No problem—what’s your annual revenue?
I don’t know the exact annual revenue. I can check our records and get you a number, but I don’t have it on hand right now.
Do you do any torch-down or other hot work?
Nope, we don’t do torch-down or any hot work. It’s all standard roofing methods for us.
