General Liability Coverage

The Victory Non-Admitted Contractor Program provides General Liability Coverage for artisan/trade contractors for both commercial and residential work. It is designed to meet the needs of small artisan contactors conducting business within the trades and construction industry. Credit is available for the service, repair and replacement ONLY risks. See the eligible classes for a list of construction and service contractors we can write. Contractors are also limited by their size. Policies may be written for one year and renewed annually. See rating for definition of payrolls. The AmTrust No Loss Warranty Form is accepted in lieu of loss runs for accounts with premium less than $7,500.

You can submit artisan contractors who perform new construction in tract home subdivisions of up to 15 homes. A tract development is defined as: A project or premise in which multiple architecturally identical, nearly-identical, or similar homes are built.

Contractors performing 100% service and repair work for residential and commercial projects are given special consideration in the program. Additionally, we accept small remodeling General Contractors, including those who complete room additions.
