Moving Companies Banking in Vermont — FAQ

Do I need a license to start a moving company in Vermont?

Yes — Vermont requires moving companies to register with the state (often through the public utilities commission or transportation department) and obtain proper insurance. For interstate moves, you'll also need a USDOT number. Register your LLC ($155) as a first step.

What insurance do moving companies need in Vermont?

Moving companies in Vermont need general liability insurance, cargo/goods-in-transit insurance, commercial auto insurance for trucks, and workers' compensation. Customers' belongings are your responsibility during the move — adequate insurance coverage is critical.

Do moving companies in Vermont need a separate bank account?

Absolutely — moving companies deal with deposits, final payments, fuel costs, truck maintenance, and seasonal labor. A dedicated business account with AI bookkeeping tracks revenue per job and helps manage the seasonal cash flow swings common in the moving industry.
