- Professional liability insurance is included for the studio owner(s) and for the studio employees.
- Independent contractors are not automatically covered under this policy.
- If your independent contractors have liability insurance, their name and limit of insurance need to be filled in on your studio application.
- If Liability coverage is needed for independent contractors, the following options are available:
-
- Add the $1,000,000 Liability to your Exercise Studio coverage ($300 for on-site and off-site coverage. Operations with more than 10 independent contractors may be subject to additional underwriting and premium).
- The individual instructor can purchase the $1,000,000 Liability on a direct basis and name your studio as an additional insured. He or she would then have coverage wherever instructing (except out of their own home or facility/gym). Premium is $194 for a certified instructor or $245 for a non-certified instructor.
