Quick Answer

What insurance does an Alabama handyman need?

Alabama handymen need a BOP for general liability (covers property damage and injuries), commercial property (protects tools), and commercial auto for work vehicles. Workers' comp is required for 5+ employees. Most handyman operations under $5M revenue qualify if they avoid excluded trades like roofing, electrical panel work, and plumbing main lines.
