FAQ
Frequently asked questions
What does Defense Contractor Insurance typically cover?
Defense contractors often face strict contract requirements, international exposures and heightened cyber risk. Exact limits, deductibles and exclusions depend on the policy and the insurance company, so we review the details with you before you buy.
Do you only insure people in Raleigh or North Carolina?
Our office is in North Raleigh, and we work with neighbors across the Triangle every day. As an independent agency we also help clients nationwide when we have markets that fit.
How do I get a quote for defense contractor coverage?
Start the quick quote form on this page, call or text our office, or request a quote online. An advisor reviews every request and follows up — usually within one business day.
Will you compare more than one insurance company?
Yes. Shadow Lake is an independent agency, so we shop multiple top-rated carriers for you instead of selling a single brand. Availability depends on the coverage, your location and underwriting.
Why does defense contractor insurance look different from a generic business policy?
Industries carry different risks — equipment, customers on-site, professional advice, vehicles or specialized contracts. We start with how you operate, then match coverages and carriers to that work.
Can you help if a contract asks for specific limits or a certificate?
Yes. Share the contract requirements and we’ll help align coverage where markets allow, and our service team can issue certificates of insurance for clients when needed.
