by Edited by ASHI Staff July 1, 2002

As the insurance markets continue to tighten, obtaining insurance coverage has become increasingly costly and difficult for all professionals, particularly home inspectors. The program developed by ASHI and Business Risk Partners is a long term, stable source of protection against allegations that could cost you your business. As an ASHI endorsed program, the policy is specifically tailored to provide the coverage necessary to protect your home inspection business.

Underwritten by Lloyd’s, the program is managed by Business Risk Partners with Capacity Coverage serving as the agent.
