Why do you need craft insurance?

When you’re making brilliant creations to sell at a craft stall, the last thing you want to worry about is mistakes, accidents, injury and damage. But what if someone trips over your table? Or hurts themselves on an item you’ve sold? Insurance helps you cover yourself against the costs of things going wrong. (Selling crafts online instead? You’ll need to set your trade as ‘online retailer’, then ‘arts and crafts’, on our quote form.)

  • Protection against big claims, including legal costs and medical expenses payouts
  • Peace of mind in case something happens to the craft materials and the products in your sales inventory
  • Cover what you need, whether you work alone or you have others working with you
