Insurance Canopy, a national provider of small business and vendor insurance solutions, has introduced new insurance programs tailored for florists and plumbing contractors. The move expands the company’s specialty portfolio and aims to give more small business owners access to fast, online coverage. By offering these programs, Insurance Canopy addresses the unique needs of two distinct industries while maintaining a streamlined digital experience.
The new offerings allow florists and plumbing professionals to purchase coverage online, receive same-day protection, and access an instant certificate of insurance. This capability helps them quickly meet venue, contract, and jobsite requirements without lengthy application processes. For small business owners who often need proof of insurance immediately to secure a venue, sign a contract, or begin work on a job site, the ability to obtain coverage within minutes can be a significant operational advantage.
“Every small business deserves an insurance experience that is fast, straightforward, and built around the way they work,” said Daryle Stafford, CEO of Veracity Insurance, parent company of Insurance Canopy. “Whether they're fulfilling customer orders, providing services on-site, or managing projects in the field, today's business owners need insurance that can keep up with the demands of their daily operations. By bringing these programs onto our platform, we're making it easy to purchase coverage online, access policy documents and certificates of insurance from anywhere, and get the proof of coverage they need within minutes so they can stay focused on growing their business.”
Insurance Canopy developed the new programs through its relationship with Coterie Insurance, expanding coverage options while maintaining the digital experience customers rely on. The launch also lays the groundwork for additional business classes expected to join the platform in the near future. This suggests that Insurance Canopy is actively working to broaden its reach and may soon offer similar streamlined coverage for other specialty trades.
“Expanding into florist and plumbing coverage is part of a broader effort to make specialty business insurance easier to access,” said Chris Van Leeuwen, Vice President of Professional Development, Insurance Canopy. “We're continuing to add programs that serve the unique needs of different industries without changing the experience customers have come to expect. Business owners should be able to get the coverage they need quickly, so they can stay focused on running their businesses instead of navigating a complicated insurance process.”
Insurance Canopy provides industry-specific insurance for thousands of small businesses nationwide, combining an online purchasing experience with same-day coverage, instant certificates of insurance, and self-service policy management. The company’s platform is designed to reduce the friction typically associated with obtaining commercial insurance, which can be a barrier for small businesses with limited time and resources.
The new florist insurance and plumbing insurance programs are now available through Insurance Canopy. This expansion matters because it directly addresses the insurance needs of two growing service sectors. Florists often need coverage for events, deliveries, and retail operations, while plumbing contractors face risks related to on-site work, property damage, and liability. By offering tailored programs with instant certificates, Insurance Canopy helps these businesses meet contractual and regulatory requirements more efficiently, potentially reducing downtime and enabling faster project starts. The launch underscores a broader trend in the insurance industry toward digital, on-demand solutions that cater to the specific needs of small businesses.
