Why Tree Service Insurance Matters
Protect your service business from liability and property claims
Service businesses work on client property, creating liability exposure for damage you might cause. The right insurance protects you from claims that could drain your profits and shut down operations.
Most service businesses need General Liability for property damage and injuries, Workers' Compensation for employees, and often Commercial Auto for work vehicles. Equipment coverage protects your tools.
Whether you're a solo operator or run a crew, proper insurance is essential. Many clients require proof of insurance before hiring service contractors.
