Business insurance for California companies

GTRZ Insurance Services places general liability, workers' compensation, commercial auto, property and umbrella insurance for California businesses. We're based in Fresno. After the policy is bound, we handle certificates of insurance, premium audits, claims and mid-year changes.

Types of business insurance we place

General liability
Pays when someone outside your company says your work, your product or your premises hurt them or damaged their property.
Workers' compensation
Covers medical bills and lost wages when an employee is hurt on the job. California requires it once you have employees.
Commercial auto
Covers the vehicles your business owns or uses, including the vans and buses that move crews.
Property
Your buildings, equipment and inventory.
Umbrella
Extra liability limits on top of your other policies. Contracts often require it.

Certificates, audits, claims and policy changes

Certificates
Proof of coverage your customers or general contractors ask for before you start a job. We turn them around so the job doesn't wait.
Audits
The year-end check of your payroll or sales that settles your final premium. We help you get the numbers right so the bill isn't a surprise.
Claims
We help you report it and stay on it with the carrier.
Changes
New hires, a new truck, a new contract with different insurance requirements. Tell us and we update the coverage.

Business insurance questions

Do I need workers' comp in California?

Yes, if you have employees, even one. California law requires it.

What is a certificate of insurance?

A one-page document that shows a customer or general contractor that you carry the coverage their contract requires. Many won't let you start a job without one.

What is a premium audit?

After the policy year ends, the carrier checks your actual payroll or sales to settle your final premium. If your numbers grew, you may owe more. If they shrank, you may get money back.
