You need to shop around and find a carrier that best meets your needs, including cost and coverage. Ways to reduce your costs include having safe working conditions and policies for your business. If you don't have a history of accidents at your business, you may be able to get insurance that costs less.
Also, visit the California Department of Industrial Relations website for more information regarding workers' compensation: http://www.dir.ca.gov/dwc/dwc_home_page.htm.
