Table of Contents

According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, there were 2.3 million jobs in the cleaning sector as of 2016. The industry is only expected to continue growing with projections at 10 percent growth between 2016 and 2026.

With numbers like these, it’s no surprise that many business owners, like yourself, have jumped into the cleaning industry—and good thing too, as there will always be spaces to clean (big and small). However, the cost of running and building your cleaning business can add up pretty quickly, and if in your business operations you cause damage or injure someone, you could face something even more expensive: a lawsuit.

With the help of cleaning business insurance, you can protect your investment and prevent starting back at square one.

If you’re not sure why you should purchase cleaning business insurance, let us break down the four best reasons to do just that.

1. It’s Cheaper Than A Lawsuit

Did you know the national average cost for an attorney is $225 per hour? This can vary depending on the lawyer’s experience and the complexity of the case. If you were sued, you’d have no other choice but to hire one.

Let’s say you are cleaning your client’s beach house while they’re present and they trip over your cleaning supplies. As a result, your client is injured to the point they need a cast on their leg. Because of your negligence, they take you to court for causing the incident and to make you pay for their expensive medical bills.

If the scare of possibly going to court isn’t enough to make you purchase cleaning business insurance, just think of every little thing you’ll have to pay for if you aren’t covered.

On top of paying for a lawyer, you could also have to pay for…

  • Additional court fees
  • Expert witness fees
  • Travel expenses

More importantly, loss of time and income because you’ll be at court instead of working and earning money.

2. Cleaning Business Insurance Can Boost Professionalism

With the help of cleaning business insurance, you’ll show your current and potential clients that you take your business seriously. Not only does coverage help with boosting your professionalism, but it lets your clients know you’re proactive.

“But how would I be able to show I’m being proactive?”

With cleaning business insurance, you can have peace of mind that your business and investment is safe. If you’re out of luck and get sued, you can rest assured that your policy may respond to the third-party claim.
