Would you suggest getting small business insurance for a mobile business?

My husband and I recently started a mobile buisiness. We have no “location.” The business is run and the service is provided on location at the customer’s request. We have set our business up as a sole proprietorship. Do you suggest insurance? If so, what kind?

Answer by cridler
Yes, definitely. First, if you are using you personal vehicles to get to the customers location your auto insurance company can avoid paying a claim if on a business trip. Second, liability for any error or damage you cause while doing your work. As a sole proprietor you are liable for any damage or claim and your homeowners or auto will not pay. See your insurance agent and discuss coverage needed, it probably will not be that expensive. I have a small farm business and pay very little extra for business coverage.

Which pet grooming business is cheaper to operate – a mobile grooming service or a rent/own your own shop?

We’re having a discussion on one of my online groups as to which type of pet grooming business is cheaper to operate and/or makes a bigger profit. I was interested to hear from different pet groomers who have done the research as to which one is more cost effective – a mobile grooming vehicle or an in shop type grooming business.

Thank you to all who care to share their knowledge with me.
