Insurance Canopy, a national provider of small business and vendor insurance solutions, announced on September 10, 2026, the launch of two new insurance programs tailored 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, same-day protection, and instant certificates of insurance.
The new offerings are designed to help florists and plumbing professionals quickly meet venue, contract, and jobsite requirements without lengthy application processes. By purchasing coverage online, these business owners can obtain proof of insurance within minutes, allowing them to focus on their operations rather than navigating complex insurance procedures.
“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 new programs were developed 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 small businesses in the florist and plumbing industries often face unique risks that require specialized coverage. Florists may need protection for floral arrangements, delivery vehicles, and event setups, while plumbing contractors require liability coverage for on-site work and potential property damage. By offering these programs online with same-day coverage, Insurance Canopy reduces the time and complexity typically associated with obtaining specialty insurance, which can be a significant barrier for small business owners. This move could also pressure other insurers to streamline their own offerings for niche industries, ultimately benefiting entrepreneurs across the country.
