I am starting a moving and storage company. I am unsure of what types of insurance I need to purchase and how to get bonded. Can you help me?

For a moving and storage business, you're going to need the usual types of business insurance along with some specialized kinds of coverage. You would be well advised to find someone with some familiarity with insuring that kind of business. A trade association might also help you with that.

Off the top of my head, you will need Workers Compensation, General Liability, property insurance for your own property, then Warehouse Legal Liability and specialized coverage for the goods you are transporting. Also Auto Liability and auto physical damage coverage for your trucks. Probably Umbrella liability on top of all the other liability coverages.
