Frequently Asked Questions
Can tree service owners qualify for life insurance given their occupation?
Tree service is considered a high-risk occupation, which can affect rates and available coverage amounts. Agents in our network work with A-rated (A.M. Best) carriers that understand the trades. Applying while young and in good health secures the best outcomes.
What specialized equipment should be factored into tree service coverage?
Bucket trucks, wood chippers, stump grinders, and climbing equipment collectively can represent $200K-$600K in debt. Life insurance should cover these obligations to protect your family from inherited business liabilities.
