Michigan Liability Insurance Please Help


Can anyone help me. I have started out on my own as a Carpenter/Handyman here in Michigan and I am having difficulty finding insurance. Every insurance company i have contacted to try to get liability insurance have never got back to me. Can anyone recommend a company that could help?

Too bad your from the other side of the state, I have a good insurance guy that got me a good deal recently and actually cared about a little guy. Good luck.

See if you can find a Harleysville Insurance Company or a agent that can get their Insurance, they are located up north, that's who I have mine with, real good prices.

That's just my luck Paulie. Is he an independent or does he work for a national company?

Hello!

I buy my insurance through an independent agent, but the policy is written by Frankemuth Ins Co.

They have good rates, fair audits, and I've been with them for around ten years.

You could call them direct, see it they can recommend an agent in your area.

Hi James,
You wouldn't happen to have a number for them would you?

Here's a like to their website, (simple google search)

There's an input field for your zip, to find an agent.
