I own a small part time manufacturing business (Van's Aircraft parts only). After 30 years + in the same commercial location the NEW management wants to enforce the premises liability insurance requirement.
I have been on the phone half the day and have talked to many agents. Some have tried to be helpful by directing me to other companies and others not so helpful. No joy!
They all ask the same question. "What service or product do you provide?" I've even said that I provide several different products and services, like sheet metal or fiberglass work. They all want to know what is your main product? What is your market. It all comes down to Van's Aircraft parts. If I grossed $100,000 + per year it would be easier. When I tell what the yearly gross is they don't have a product that meets my budget.
If any of you small manufactures or insurance agents have any ideas it would be much appreciated. I want to stay at my location and stay in business. I love working with the Van's crowd.
