Running a sound and audio installation business requires more than technical skill — it also requires effective risk management. Workers Compensation Insurance protects employees and businesses from workplace injuries in an industry where hands-on work, ladders, tools, and frequent site visits are part of the daily routine. Novatae Risk Group, through its Empire Underwriters division, offers a specialized Workers Compensation Insurance program tailored for sound and audio installation contractors. Built for the exposures common to this niche, the program helps agents and brokers place difficult or underserved workers comp accounts across more than 20 states. Ideal Accounts and Appetite This program targets businesses that install sound systems, AV components, intercoms, security audio, and related equipment in commercial and residential settings. Typical fits include commercial AV integrators, home theater installers, intercom and paging system contractors, and specialty audio subcontractors. You might use this program for a small but growing crew of technicians who travel to client sites and perform hands-on installation, cable routing, equipment mounting, and system testing—accounts that often face difficulty finding competitive workers comp coverage in standard markets. Coverage Highlights and Advantages Minimum premium starting at $7,500 10% commission for appointed agents Fast quote turnaround when submissions are complete Access to a broad network of admitted and non-admitted carriers (varies by account) Underwriting Requirements Completed ACORD 130 application Three years of currently valued loss runs A supplemental questionnaire specific to sound/audio operations Details on any large or unusual losses Territories and Availability The program is available in more than 20 states, including CA, FL, TX, NY, NJ, IL, GA and others.
