Questions about contractors & subcontractors
These general explanations help organize a conversation. They are not individualized legal, tax, investment or insurance advice.
Does my personal auto policy cover work use?
Personal auto coverage may exclude or restrict business use, transported tools, employees driving, trailers and jobsite activity. The correct answer depends on the vehicle, ownership, drivers and policy language.
Ask U.S.A. Plans about this topic →Are my tools covered wherever I take them?
Tools and mobile equipment may need inland marine, contractor equipment or another specialized form of protection. Coverage at a shop does not automatically mean the same protection applies in transit or at a jobsite.
Ask U.S.A. Plans about this topic →Do subcontractors remove my liability?
Hiring a subcontractor does not automatically eliminate a contractor’s responsibility. Written agreements, certificates, additional-insured requirements and the actual working relationship can all matter.
Ask U.S.A. Plans about this topic →What happens if I cannot work?
A contractor’s income may depend heavily on one owner or a few skilled people. Disability, life, key-person and business-continuity planning address different parts of that risk.
Ask U.S.A. Plans about this topic →Can a small contractor have a retirement plan?
Yes. Several retirement-plan structures may work for self-employed owners and small crews. Eligibility, contribution limits, employee rules and tax treatment should be reviewed together.
