One Partner for Every Business Risk
Independent commercial insurance for Oakland and Macomb County small businesses — from a local agent who knows what Michigan contractors, retailers, and service firms actually need.
Most small business owners don't know exactly what coverage they need until something goes wrong. After 43 years in insurance and access to multiple commercial carriers, I help you build a policy package that fits your operation — not a generic template — so a single claim, lawsuit, or job site incident doesn't threaten everything you've built.
Coverage for Every Side of Your Business
Running a business in Michigan means carrying risk across multiple fronts — your property, your vehicles, your employees, and your liability to clients and the public. These aren't separate problems. They're one picture, and your coverage should reflect that.
Home Insurance
Storm damage, roof concerns, and rising rebuilding costs leave many homeowners unsure whether their policy still makes sense. Local home insurance guidance helps homeowners understand coverage options in plain language before problems become expensive surprises.
Business owners across Green Bay and the surrounding area often need more than a generic policy that overlooks how their operation actually works. Local guidance and independent carrier access help business owners build protection that fits contractors, restaurants, automotive shops, and other growing operations.
Business Insurance
General Liability Insurance
Protect your business from third-party claims of bodily injury, property damage, and advertising injury. Essential for contractors, professional services firms, and any business that works on client property or serves the public.
Commercial Auto Insurance
Personal auto policies don't cover vehicles used for business. Whether you run a single work truck or a small fleet, commercial auto keeps your vehicles and your drivers covered on Michigan roads.
Workers Compensation Insurance
Michigan law requires workers comp for most employers with one or more employees. Beyond compliance, it covers medical expenses and lost wages when someone on your team gets hurt on the job.
Commercial Property Insurance
Your building, equipment, inventory, and tools represent years of investment. Commercial property coverage keeps a fire, theft, or storm from forcing you to start over.

Certificates of Insurance — When You Need Them Fast
If you've ever had a contract held up waiting on a COI, you know how costly that delay can be. When clients or general contractors request proof of coverage, I turn certificates around quickly so your business can keep moving. Getting the right coverage in place first is what makes that turnaround possible.
What Insurance Does a Small Business Need in Michigan?
The honest answer is: it depends on your industry, your headcount, your physical location, and how your business interacts with clients and the public. Most Michigan small businesses need at least general liability and, if they have employees, workers comp. From there, commercial auto, property coverage, and an umbrella policy layer in depending on your exposure. I help you think through the full picture so you're not underinsured in one area while paying for coverage you don't need in another.
Frequently Asked Questions About Small Business Coverage
What's the difference between a BOP and buying individual commercial policies?
A Business Owner's Policy bundles general liability and commercial property into a single package, typically at a lower combined cost than purchasing each separately. BOPs work well for many small businesses, but they're not available for every industry or risk profile. I'll help you determine whether a BOP or individually structured policies make more sense for your specific operation.
Is commercial insurance required by law in Michigan?
Workers compensation is required for most Michigan businesses with at least one employee. Commercial auto coverage is required for any vehicle registered for business use. General liability and commercial property are not legally mandated in most cases, but many clients, landlords, and licensing boards require proof of liability coverage before you can work with them.
How do I know if my current business policy has gaps?
The most common gaps I find are businesses using personal auto policies for work vehicles, no coverage for tools and equipment away from the premises, and liability limits that haven't been reviewed since the business grew. A policy review takes about 30 minutes and can surface exposures you didn't know existed.
Can you cover a business that operates in multiple states?
Yes. Prysock Insurance Group holds licenses across multiple states, and many of the commercial carriers I work with write multi-state policies. If your business operates beyond Michigan, I can structure coverage that follows your operations.
How quickly can you issue a certificate of insurance?
Once your policy is in place, certificates of insurance can typically be issued the same day you request them. If you're in the middle of a contract negotiation and need proof of coverage quickly, getting your policy set up first is the step that makes fast turnaround possible.
