NEXT Insurance at a glance

Strengths

• Instant quotes and same-day, self-serve certificates of insurance — a big deal when a GC needs a COI before you can start
• Strong fit for solo operators and small crews across most trades
• Bundles GL, tools & equipment, and commercial auto in one digital account
• Additional insured certificates you can issue yourself, anytime

Trade-offs

• Appetite leans toward smaller, lower-hazard contractors — larger or higher-risk operations may price better elsewhere
• As a digital-first carrier, complex accounts sometimes want the human underwriting other markets offer
• Being cheapest depends entirely on your trade, state, and payroll — it wins some, loses others

Which contractors NEXT Insurance fits

NEXT tends to shine for handymen, finish trades, and small service contractors who value speed and self-service. For heavier trades — roofing, excavation, structural — it’s worth quoting against carriers with broader appetite.
