Insurance Canopy, a national provider of small business and vendor insurance solutions, announced on September 10, 2026, the launch of specialized insurance programs for florists and plumbing contractors. The expansion broadens the company's specialty portfolio and aims to give more small business owners access to fast, online coverage.
Florists and plumbing professionals can now purchase coverage online, receive same-day protection, and access an instant certificate of insurance. This helps them quickly meet venue, contract, and jobsite requirements without lengthy application processes. The new offerings are part of a broader effort to make specialty business insurance easier to access, according to the company.
"Every small business deserves an insurance experience that is fast, straightforward, and built around the way they work," said Daryle Stafford, CEO of Veracity Insurance, parent company of Insurance Canopy. "Whether they're fulfilling customer orders, providing services on-site, or managing projects in the field, today's business owners need insurance that can keep up with the demands of their daily operations. By bringing these programs onto our platform, we're making it easy to purchase coverage online, access policy documents and certificates of insurance from anywhere, and get the proof of coverage they need within minutes so they can stay focused on growing their business."
The development of these programs was facilitated through Insurance Canopy's relationship with Coterie Insurance, expanding coverage options while maintaining the streamlined digital experience customers rely on. The launch also lays the groundwork for additional business classes expected to join the platform in the near future.
"Expanding into florist and plumbing coverage is part of a broader effort to make specialty business insurance easier to access," said Chris Van Leeuwen, Vice President of Professional Development at Insurance Canopy. "We're continuing to add programs that serve the unique needs of different industries without changing the experience customers have come to expect. Business owners should be able to get the coverage they need quickly, so they can stay focused on running their businesses instead of navigating a complicated insurance process."
Insurance Canopy provides industry-specific insurance for thousands of small businesses nationwide, combining an online purchasing experience with same-day coverage, instant certificates of insurance, and self-service policy management.

The expansion matters because it addresses a critical need for small business owners in these industries, who often require proof of insurance to secure contracts, participate in events, or comply with local regulations. By offering same-day coverage and instant certificates, Insurance Canopy reduces the time and complexity typically associated with obtaining specialized insurance. This can be particularly beneficial for florists who need coverage for events or deliveries and plumbers who work on various job sites. The move also signals Insurance Canopy's commitment to serving diverse small business sectors and could encourage other insurers to follow suit in providing tailored, digital-first solutions. As small businesses continue to face evolving risks, access to quick and reliable insurance is essential for their growth and resilience.
