Looking for a market for a school bus company in Wisconsin. Any ideas?

You do not mention what coverage? WC? GL?
Or operations...do they mfg the bus? or is it operation (livery)?

If you were interested in joining the Iroquois Group, we could give you access to an A rated carrier that targets school bus systems. Iroquois is a network of independent agencies that brings its members direct access to a multitude of carriers, both personal lines and commercial. Our program is very fair, and we have hundreds of member agencies across the country. You can check us out at Iroquoisgroup.com or feel free to give me a call at 609-585-0737 and I'll fill you in. - Philip-

Operations is a school bus livery. No manufacturing. Need auto coverage.

I would suggest that you search local market databases (if no locals are available to you try Roughnotes Marketplace (http://www.insurancemarketplace.com/copyright.htm) Search for LIvery, Transportation and Buses. You will get lots of E&S brokers and a few carriers. Sort thru them and see which matches up best with your needs. Realize that most E&S houses say they can do everything, which is mostly true...what you are looking for is one that does lots of that class and has relationships with the markets that write lots of that class.

Good Luck!

Curious why you suggested the rough notes markets search page instead of the insurance journal one (http://www.insurancejournal.com/directories/).
