I already have an accountant. He assures me that all is well. Says I don't NEED workers comp, or a license but I keep hearing those terms thrown around on AS and from other local tree guys and I'm afraid that I'm missing something.
You don't need a license to work on trees, but you do need a license to do business working on trees. Check with your city/county government just to be sure that you CYA. It may be possible that you don't need a business license, but I doubt it.
On a side note, when I got my business license I asked what the minimum required liability policy was. I was shocked....you're only required to carry $5,000. of liability insurance to get a business license here.
