I have the worst luck when searching the forums. Maybe it is lack of skill, but I seem to never be able to find what I am looking for.
I am contemplating starting a small tree service company as a secondary income. I am not an arborist, but I have a degree in horticulture, worked with trees and wood for years, and thanks to my CAD, have more than enough equipment to start. I am not naive enough to try to do an arborist's work, simply looking to cut large wood that few others will cut. The trees that I "fall" would not be in residential areas. I would like to keep it simple, and being a second income I would be more inclined to turn down any job beyond my skill level.
I just would like to know the basic insurance (liability) needs of a business like this. Any other tips would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
