Finally, an affordable liability insurance solution for Independent Contractors!
A major challenge confronting Independent contractors is the issue of obtaining and maintaining the appropriate liability insurance coverage. APCC members now have the ability to secure comprehensive coverage a well as access to rates that are often much less than traditional insurance markets.
Reasons to consider this program include:
  • Being self employed, insurance is considered the best way to protect you and your family from an unforeseen lawsuit
  • The insurance costs are a tax deductible expense (further minimizing the already competitive group rate available to APCC members).
  • The APCC program is designed to meet the business requirements of independent contractors.
