For a general liability policy will the insurance company require certain proof or is it a simple policy to obtain?

Contact a broker like Allstate and describe your business. they will bend over backwards to get you a policy. They put me with Hartford Ins. and I never looked back. Your Payment is based on the type of work you perform and the type of exposure to harm that your company may create.
Hope this helps

You can ask for a CGL Policy since this is required if you are opening a business (and required under the law). Limits are based how “big” your business is. And after taking this coverage, you can ask them to cover you for a Workmens Compensation for your employees. Some other Insurance Companies require proof of Business Permits to cover you , but others would ask how much you make.
