Hello wonderful coworking community, I know there's been lots of discussion about insurance and how to get it. I'm wondering if anyone would share with me what they pay for insurance, or at least what proportion of your operating budget you expect it to be? I know it depends on tons of

Your landlord will likely require that you provide liability insurance insuring them against anything that might happen to someone while in the space. This is a pretty standard lease requirement. You will want similar coverage in case someone injures themselves or, God forbid, dies for some

Confirmed. Basically, the organizations that CAN do anything offer worse-than-average rates. In most cities/states, it's not legal for insurance to be pooled this way. New York was able to overcome this in the formation of The Freelancer's Union, which is actually more of a lobby group than a
