Let's be honest, insurance policies aren't exactly beach reading. For your busy artisan contractor franchisees, diving into the "exclusions" (the stuff a policy doesn't cover) can feel like a chore. But skipping this part can lead to nasty surprises like, "Wait, I'm NOT covered for THAT?!"

The Big Headache: When "Covered" Isn't Really Covered

Imagine your franchisee, a top-notch electrician, finishes a job. Later, an issue pops up. They think, "Phew, good thing I have insurance!" But then—plot twist!—the claim is denied because of some fine print they missed. Ouch.

That's the tricky part about policy exclusions. They're the "gotchas" that can make a solid-seeming policy less protective than expected. Artisan contractors are out there doing their thing, so becoming fine-print experts isn't really on the agenda. This means they might be unknowingly open to risks like:

• Damage to the specific part of a project they just finished.
• Problems caused by a subcontractor who didn't have the right insurance.
• Pollution issues they didn't realize were excluded.
• Trouble with work done before their current policy kicked in.
• These aren't small things; they can mean the difference between a covered claim and a big bill.
