Public liability insurance for manicurists

When you run a small business from your nail salon or you are self employed, there is always the potential for accidents to happen. Imagine, for example, that one of your customers slips on a wet patch of the floor and is seriously hurt. It could easily happen, and if it does, you may find your business facing a compensation claim in the hundreds or thousands of pounds.

Our business insurance for manicurists can’t prevent accidents from happening, but it can protect your business financially from the consequences.

Building your manicure insurance

You may need a few different types of insurance to cover your manicure business. These core business insurance covers should help you get started.

Public liability insurance – if a customer is injured or their property somehow damaged because of your business, you could face a claim for hundreds or even thousands of pounds. This insurance will cover the cost of such a claim.

Employers’ liability insurance – if you have staff, they must legally be protected by employers' liability insurance. If a member of your staff becomes ill or is injured as a result of working for you, they may claim compensation. This type of insurance would cover the cost of that claim and any related legal expenses.
