What does catering van insurance cover?

We’ll start with public and product liability insurance – a popular cover for food truck businesses, and other mobile caterers. It’s built to cover against claims for illness or injuries your business has caused, or claims for property damage. From there, you can choose to add insurance options that fit your business, from employers’ liability to protection for expensive equipment and essential stock.
