HI all
I am new to the forum and have been making soap for a little while
I have decided to sell them at craft and school fairs etc..
I am registered my company name, and applied for my comestic safety equipment certificate etc.
But I wondered if anyone could give me any advice on insurance providers , I understand that I will need public liability insurance, but I wondered if anyone had any recommendations for UK based insurers ?
Any help would be gratefully received
Thanks
LoveScrub

Hi LoveScrub

I got public and products liability insurance last week with Ian Wallace Craft Insurance. The underwriters are Aviva. http://www.craftinsurance.co.uk/

It covers me for markets, craft fairs, delivering workshops and even my internet sales.... I went with them as they are specifically for crafts. I got the £5,000,000 policy as that is what some markets/fairs I have looked into have asked for. There are other add-ons to the policy you can get too. There are other ones that are cheaper but this one was best for my needs. Here are others: National Market Traders Federation http://www.nmtf.co.uk/index.php?id_cpg=6

Combined market traders insurance: http://www.cmtia.co.uk/

I got my safety assessments from www.cosmeticsafetyassessment.com Great value for money, I got the start-up package that covers loads of products. Not sure who you have used.

Good luck and happy soaping!
