I was speaking the other day w/ the owner of the shop that's been doing my block prep and he mentioned (as an offshoot of a politically-related conversion) that he was having trouble finding new insurance for his business since his current carrier is no longer doing business policies (or something along those lines).

The agent he's working with to find new insurance before his current policy expires isn't having very good luck. For example, one of the possible carriers used the fact that this shop does machine work on "race engines" as an excuse for refusing to offer coverage.

So, can any shop owners on here offer suggestions as to where he may be able to go for insurance? It really bothers me that he's running into this much trouble considering he's a one-man operation that's been in this area for decades. Thanks.
