What insurance do tailors need?
Public liability insurance is often an important cover for tailors along with many other trades, as it can protect you if someone is injured or their property is damaged because of your business. Simply Business offers between £1 million and £5 million in cover, to protect you against this cost.
For your shop premises, buildings insurance covers buildings you own against disasters like fire and flood. Remember that you'll need separate cover for contents and fixtures and fittings.
Tailor insurance policy details
- Make sure you read your policy documents carefully in order to understand any exclusions
- If you rent your shop premises from a commercial landlord, check with them to see if you need your own buildings insurance
If you employ people, even in your own home, you are legally obliged to take out employers’ liability insurance. Failure to do so could result in heavy fines.
