<DIV>Terry -</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>I had State Farm for business insurance for quite a few years, until they informed me about 4 years ago that they were no longer writing policies for small businesses like ours.  I have been with Zurich since then.  Trouble is, State Farm was about $200/yr.  Zurich is $500/yr.  I have not had any luck finding a cheaper alternative.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Mark Potter<BR><BR><B><I>Farrell <mfarrel2@tampabay.rr.com></I></B> wrote:</DIV> <BLOCKQUOTE class=replbq style="PADDING-LEFT: 5px; MARGIN-LEFT: 5px; BORDER-LEFT: #1010ff 2px solid"> <META content="MSHTML 6.00.2900.2722" name=GENERATOR> <STYLE></STYLE> <DIV>Thanks for all the suggestions so far. I heard back from my State Farm agent yesterday and they said they do not write policies for my type of business. I'll be pursuing some of the other suggestions today. Any additional suggestions would be appreciated.
