[Guest]

Is anyone a member of the Indie Beauty Network? And is it useful at all?

I like her site, but I'm torn between her and the soap guild one. I have to make a decision which one to join - just for insurance when my current policy runs its course.

Perhaps you can work your magic and give us (me!) a breakdown of the pros and cons of each?

Are there any insurance companies that let you pay it out?

What do you mean 'Pay it out'?

 

[Dovie]

Make monthly payments. I can't come up with $500 at the moment.

Ah, Duh! Sorry, I should have known that.

When I owned a retail shop 2 years ago (skateboards, not soap) my Hartford Policy through USAA allowed for a monthly payment, but there was a surcharge of about 12% - pass on that!

It would be interesting to see if there was such a creature what the premiums would be. Higher, I think.

OK Now for the important question - What size samples do you give out?

soap

you may wish to check with your homeowner's insurance agent- i live in alabama and each state has different requirements, but i pay $119 a year for $500,000 liability insurance. it is an attachment to my homeowner's ins, since i make and base my sales out of my house.

just a thought...

Yeah my liability insurance (BC Canada) is $150.00 year as a homebased business with liability of $500,000.

Greenman I use off-cuts so they are all different sizes, but if you were to take a guest sized bar and cut it in 2 that would be a good size.
