I'm one step away from getting my business going.... I need liability insurance. Once I get that I'm ready to advertise. Like I've said,,, I'll be doing timber sale preperation, timber stand improvement, herbicide application, tree felling/trimming, selling firewood, and nuisance wildlife control trapping. The small hometown insurance companies are a waste of my time. Most are like,,,, what's forest consulting??? Time to hang up the phone when they say that.

Where do you guys get your insurance?.... or is that top secret??? Thanks

try going to an insurance agent !!!! not for nothing,, they might be able to help you out.... a lot more than asking here ... and shop around. get more than 1 quote before you buy...

This is my guy:

BEACON INSURANCE & INVESTMENT
Phone: (203) 467-7064
Rich


Not sure if he does your state either, but he may be able to find someone for you. My policy is a $1mill/$2mill for tree trimming and tree removal and it costs $106 a month. Hope this helps.

I found an "excess and surplus" company willing to cover me with a commercial general liability policy with $1,000,000 liability limits. Total cost is 868/yr. That's pretty good isn't it? Please let me know. I'm getting sick of shopping around!
