I'm looking at starting my own tree service business, in Wisconsin. I have been doing some research, but wondering if anyone can give me some advice.
Here are some of my questions:
1. Do you need to be a certified tree arborist to begin this type of company, or can you start the business as you work towards that certification?
2. Would you open the business as an LLC, so you can work with someone that already has a business, who does not want to hire you directly, because of insurance reasons? In other words, I would be subcontracted under this other business to work along side this person (mentor), to learn the trade.
3. Any other advice?
