Is The NeSmith Agency a licensed Georgia insurance agency?

Yes. The agency is licensed in Georgia as Caleb NeSmith Agency, LLC, doing business as NeSmith Casualty and Commercial Consulting, Georgia license 245590. Caleb NeSmith is a licensed insurance broker and a certified workers' compensation specialist.

Do you write general liability insurance for contractors in Georgia?

Yes. We help Georgia contractors and trades get general liability, often packaged with tools and equipment coverage, commercial auto, and workers' compensation. We can also help with certificates of insurance that general contractors and property owners ask for.

When does a Georgia business need workers' compensation?

Georgia law generally requires employers with three or more employees, full time or part time, to carry workers' compensation. Some businesses with fewer employees choose to carry it anyway, and many general contractors require it from subcontractors. We can review your situation and explain your options.

What insurance does a cleaning or janitorial business in Georgia usually need?

Most cleaning businesses start with general liability. Many also need workers' compensation once they have employees, commercial auto for vehicles used in the business, and a janitorial bond or crime coverage when staff work inside client properties. The right mix depends on your contracts and crew size.

Can you insure commercial vehicles, trucks, and small fleets?

Yes. We quote commercial auto for single work trucks, service vans, and small fleets, and we work with trucking operations on auto liability, cargo, and related coverages. Carrier appetite depends on the operation, radius, drivers, and loss history.

What do I need to get a commercial insurance quote?

Have a description of what your business does, where you operate, years in business, approximate annual sales and payroll, number of employees, any vehicles and drivers, current coverage, and recent loss history if you have it. Missing a few items is fine. We will tell you what else the carriers need.

Can you help small businesses in Middle Georgia that were declined elsewhere?

Often, yes. Some risks fit better with specialty or excess and surplus markets. We review the operation and loss history and look for a market that fits. We cannot promise coverage for every risk, but we will give you a straight answer.
