Ghost Workers Compensation Insurance

If you’re a sole proprietor, independent contractor, owner-operator, or self-employed business owner, you may still need workers’ compensation coverage even if you have no employees. A Ghost Workers Compensation policy provides proof of coverage without including payroll for employees. This type of policy is commonly used by contractors, subcontractors, truck drivers, electricians, plumbers, roofers, handymen, landscapers, and other small business owners who need a certificate of insurance to work with general contractors or secure jobs.

At Upstate’s Choice Insurance, we help businesses in South Carolina, North Carolina, and Georgia find affordable Ghost Workers Compensation Insurance quickly and easily. We work with multiple insurance companies to help you compare options and get the coverage you need at a competitive price.

What Is Ghost Workers Compensation?

Ghost Workers Compensation Insurance is a workers’ compensation policy designed for businesses with no employees. The policy typically excludes the business owner from coverage while still providing an active workers’ compensation policy and certificate of insurance. Many contractors and project managers require subcontractors to carry this coverage before allowing them on a job site.

This coverage can help:

Meet contract requirements
Provide proof of insurance
Avoid being charged under another contractor’s policy
Help qualify for certain commercial jobs
Keep your business compliant with project requirements
