Think you would be wise to gain some experience from a good arb company before venturing out on your own , too many novices hacking our tree stock!

Is he over 21? just wondering because you can register for buisness insurance under his name .... T/A (your company) then you just get filled in partners box on the insurance doc.

 

Although i will be honest not harsh! I know people who have done a college course and setup shop, they messed up some beauitful trees and got in a muddle with difficult dismantles because of the lack of experience. IMO experience is the key not cs whatever. If you guys are able to grab work subbying individually or as a pair from a larger company whilst your buisness is in its infancy, i would get some job experience from seasoned climbers. I did and its seen me through better than some but there is always a job thats out to confuse you.

If they get quoted a small fortune due to lack of experience, They wont anyway, They need to know thier place at the bottom of the ladder, Maybe more like it.

If the insurance companies are going to start charging newbies more, than I hope they are going to charge me less for not claiming in 15 years.

 

There not cherry picking there clients I hope.

 

 

I would also like to see the reason why they dont want to insure younger less experienced tree workers.

 

Are there really that many people claiming on their insurance?

 

 

I dont know any that have.

 

The excess is like £500 so that must surely cover the majority of minor incidents.

Often wondered about the high insurance costs myself, I've never claimed and don't know anyone who has.
