Arts and Crafts Insurance
Insuring an arts and crafts business
You may be working from home as a self-employed artist or craft-worker; perhaps you have a studio where you create jewelley, artwork or ceramics. Whatever your particular craft or skill, QuoteRack offers you the chance to locate insurance professionals who understand your market and who can help you to find insurance for artists and craft-workers, whether working from home or from an office, shop or studio.
"I produce small but expensive items of jewellery on a commission basis - my insurance needs are very specific and finding competitive quotes had been difficult before I was contacted by QuoteRack brokers."
Despite the relatively low turnover, many small businesses, including craftworkers and artists, nevertheless require standard business insurance cover, such as public liability insurance, employers liability insurance and potentially product liability insurance as well.
"We have business equipment including a kiln, plus a couple of computers - the combined value is over £10,000 and it was essential that we had the right level of insurance cover"
