At CraftCover, we provide public liability insurance tailored specifically to the UK craft industry.
We’ve got a plethora of knowledge of the craft industry and market, and we know why it can be important to cover your business with public liability insurance plans which go up to £2 million. This protects you from unexpected claims and gives you peace of mind that your business is thoroughly protected.
What does £2 million public liability insurance cover?
£2 million public liability insurance covers:
- Personal injury to members of the public
- Damage to third party property (if property belonging to a member of the public is damaged as a result of your business activity)
- Death or disablement to the public
Public liability insurance up to 2 million covers interactions with visitors, clients, customers and people who take part in craft fairs and craft workshops which you also attend.
CraftCover can provide policy plans with a minimum limit of indemnity of up to £2m, perfect for businesses which expect to interact with the public, even if just occasionally.
Who needs £2 million public liability insurance?
Any business that interacts with the public to any extent needs £2 million public liability insurance to provide adequate cover in the event of an accident or damage.
Even if you think it’s unlikely, if you have any chance of interacting with the public, you’re also running the risk of causing unintentional harm or damage, which is why everybody, regardless of craft, should have at least a £2 million public liability insurance, including those in:
- Cosmetics
- Candle makers and wax melts
- Flower crafts
- Plastic and resin artists
- Ceramics and pottery
- Cake makers
How much does £2M public liability insurance cost?
The cost of £2m public liability insurance varies based on:
– The type of business
– What it is you craft/sell
– Business size
– Any risk factors present in your business
A crafter who works with potentially dangerous or hazardous equipment is likely to pay more for the same policy up to £2m than one who doesn’t.
Factors such as:
– The number of employees you have;
– Area of operation; and
– Your claims history
… may also have an impact on the cost of your policy.
