- You are frustrated that bidding your insurance may not give you the best broker/agent relationship and that it often leads to being forced into making last minute decisions.
- You find difficulty with the increasingly complex contractual indemnity clauses in your contracts.
- You don't understand your bonding company - why have they cut back your capacity?
- Your employee benefits are essential to keeping good people but the cost is staggering and when you modify coverage to control the cost your employees are angry and upset with you.

If you are like the typical contractor today, you are struggling with the increased cost of your insurance program and employee benefit plans and at the same time you are squeezed by reduced profit margins. Your attention needs to be on how to obtain enough work to generate the necessary income for the company.
As you look for ways to reduce costs, you need to be careful not to cut critical insurance coverage or gut your employee benefit plans. You don't want to have an uncovered, crippling loss or lose the key people you need to move forward.
