It sounds like you are doing great. Experiment with the equipment you are getting there and then scale up as needed.

What kinds of things are on your list that you want to get and how much would all that go for?

I bet there are a lot of readers in the same boat right now as you and would like to figure out how to do all this.

Hello All!!!

I contacted a local insurance broker to get quote for insurance for my landscaping and pressure washing business and she called me today to give me the quote.

For $1 million of liability coverage she quoted me $2100 /year

We are a start up comany but that still sounds like excesive to me. Can you guys share any tips or companies you may know? I have been reading in this forum and other that people pay about $500 a year.

Thanks in advance for your help!!!

Gonzalo

Maybe try and contact this insurance company?

Quote:
Acuity insurance: one million in liability insurance for $575.00 annually.
That's in Wisconsin.
From this post.
