Every Coverage Arkansas Contractors Need

Workers' Compensation

Arkansas requires WC for all construction contractors with 1+ employees and all other employers with 3+. We find competitive rates even for high-hazard trades and elevated EMRs — and bind same-day.

General Liability

Required for your ACLB license and virtually every GC contract. We place $1M–$4M GL policies for Arkansas contractors, including high-hazard trades other carriers decline.

Commercial Auto

Covers your trucks, vans, and equipment vehicles. We write scheduled and non-owned commercial auto for Arkansas contractors — single truck to full fleet.

Inland Marine / Tools & Equipment

Tools stolen from a job site. Equipment damaged in transit. Inland marine covers your gear anywhere in Arkansas — on site, in your truck, or at the warehouse.

Commercial Umbrella

Adds $1M–$5M+ of excess liability above your GL and auto limits. Often required before a GC will let you on the job — we place umbrella coverage same-day with your primary policies.

Contractors' Pollution Liability

Standard GL excludes pollution claims. For HVAC, excavation, demolition, or hazmat-adjacent work in Arkansas, CPL is essential — and we place it through specialty markets.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do Arkansas contractors need a license to operate?

Yes. Arkansas requires contractors on projects exceeding $2,000 to be licensed through the Arkansas Contractors Licensing Board (ACLB). Licensing requires proof of General Liability and Workers' Comp insurance. Operating without a license — or with lapsed coverage — puts your license and your business at serious legal and financial risk.

I'm a subcontractor in Arkansas — do I need my own GL policy?

Yes, and most GCs won't put you on a job without it. Arkansas general contractors typically require subs to carry their own General Liability policy with the GC named as additional insured and often a waiver of subrogation. We issue your ACORD certificate — including all required endorsements — the same day your policy binds.

Can I get coverage with a high experience mod in Arkansas?

Yes. A high EMR means standard carriers may decline you — but CISA has direct access to surplus lines markets and the Arkansas assigned risk plan that are specifically designed for elevated-EMR contractors. We place Workers' Comp for Arkansas contractors with EMRs above 1.5 regularly.

How fast can I get a certificate of insurance?

Once your policy binds, we issue your certificate of insurance — including additional insured, waiver of subrogation, and primary non-contributory endorsements as required — the same business day. Most COIs are delivered within the hour.
