Lawn Buddy Picks an Insurance Buddy

IMA Select, a subsidiary of IMA Financial Group, is partnering with Lawn Buddy , an on-demand provider of lawn services, to launch a streamlined insurance application process.

The app will be available on Lawn Buddy’s technology lawncare and snow removal online platform to allow independent contractors to protect their assets. Professionals can select the coverage that is right for them from IMA Select’s carrier partners. IMA Select will then identify a carrier and protection appropriate for their business needs, and the professional can receive confirmation of insurance within one business day of the request.

“Lawn Buddy is growing rapidly across the country, and insurance is one of the top questions we always get from participants. Now, lawn care professionals can more easily turn their side hustle into a potential six-figure salary by connecting with property owners who expect the work to meet essential business standards.” – Lawn Buddy Founder Steven Werner.

“When Lawn Buddy and IMA Select started working together, it was clear from the beginning we had an opportunity to do something innovative. This is an example of how we provide clear protections in the form of insurance, and we know our work with Lawn Buddy will translate to other companies that require expedited insurance for their teams of third-party contractors.” –  IMA Select President Brian Sandy.

Bottom Line: A recent Intuit study estimates 43% of the US economy will be made up of independent contractors by 2020.
