Why You Should NEVER Run Your Landscaping Business Without Having Insurance ASAP
Before you jump into growing your landscaping business, why is it so crucial to acquire insurance?
I remember getting into a car accident in 2007. It was indeed traumatic for me. In addition, I was sued because my insurance had expired days before the accident. Since then, I have taken it upon myself to learn all about insurance and its policies. The reality of getting sued, having to shut down a business, and losing everything in a snap isn't something anyone dreams about when running a business.
Though I'm not an insurance guy, nor do I have a multimillion-dollar company, I care about you and want you to succeed. So join me today as I share with you why you should get insurance before doing business.
“Before you go out and start spending money and financing things and taking your business to the next level, make sure you get properly insured and go get the proper advice, and go find all the things that you need to do and start leaning in that direction, working on those things ASAP. Run towards it like your hair’s on fire.”
