24% of Los Angeles's B licensees hold more than one classification — most often C-10 Electrical Contractor (7%), C-36 Plumbing Contractor (5%). Extra classifications can change how carriers rate your general liability and workers' comp, so list every license class when you quote.
Business structure: 38% sole owners, 56% corporations, 5% LLCs; median time licensed 8.6 years.
For general contractors, underwriters focus first on: crew trucks, trailers and equipment; and uninsured or underinsured subcontractors becoming the GC's responsibility at audit or after a claim. See the full coverage guide for general contractors for limits, endorsements and workers' comp rules.
Asena Capital Insurance Services compares multiple markets for Los Angeles contractors and requests additional insured endorsements for you when a contract calls for them. Call (858) 925-9555 or request a quote — only your name, phone and email are required. CA License #6008596.
3,498 active B licenses have a business address in Los Angeles (CSLB, September 2026); 42% carry workers' comp and 55% are filed exempt.
If a sub cannot prove its own workers' comp coverage, carriers typically add that sub's payroll to your policy at audit. Collecting current certificates from every sub is the simplest protection.
