Cheap Insurance
Cheap, illegal roadside signs grow like weeds in a recession
The signs cluster on the street corners like day laborers looking for work: They’re selling carpet cleaning, tree trimming, air-conditioning repair, day care, website design, Google seminars. At the traffic lights, they offer passing motorists cheap health insurance, cash for junk cars, help with bankruptcy, the chance to stop foreclosure, the opportunity to make big money from home.
Funny cheap insurance
What is a good/cheap insurance & bond company for pet sitting?
I am looking to get insurance & be bonded for my new Pet Sitting Business. I’m an individual owner & don’t plan on hiring any employee’s. Just looking for a cheap & good company.
You can’t buy it directly, so it’s pointless to get the name of a company – which may or may not actually write business in your state.
What you need to do, is find a local, independent agent. You can locate one at www.iiaa.org . . . as a new business, or rather, with no prior insurance, you’re not going to get any of the standard companies to give you a policy, so you’re spinning your wheels calling State Farm, Nationwide, Allstate, etc.
The agent there can explain exactly what bonding is, and what it does – and does not – do for you.
As far as cheap, the cost of the bond will depend on the TYPE of bond – there are hundreds – and the penalty amount. You can count on it being at least $250. The Liability Insurance will probably run you around $1,000. If you’re looking for a $250 policy, it doesn’t exist, for your line of business.
