Our present insurance carrier quoted us a figure for next year that hit $120,000 for the premium, a sum twice what we're paying now. It covers Workmen's Comp, umbrella, liability, etc. We shopped a little and found someone to carry us again next year for this year's premium, but I'm concerned that in the future we will not be able to sidestep such a blow again.
I keep hearing about insurance all over, and our health insurance costs hit $30k or so this past year... Sure makes me want to consider being an employee instead of an owner! But I know it hits everyone when companies go out of business, it's just that we as a family have a lot more invested than an employee does.
Nevertheless, it's business issues like these that are more likely to put corporations asunder than a lack of passion for trees or any kind of biology understanding. If you can't solve business problems, you'll never even get to see the tree problems. More and more, I'm glad I'm going back for a master's in business - I just hope that life serves problems that have answers beyond closing the doors.
