Hi all
I run online Fair Trade business selling soft furnishings and looking at moving up a notch by selling at seasonal markets and speciality events (e.g. fair trade, eco friendly events etc).
For this a basic requirement is public liability insurance and I am looking at the best tips and guidance on how to go about getting this, the right questions to ask to ensure complete coverage and so on.
I also note that organisations like NMTF - http://www.nmtf.co.uk/join.htm offer their members inclusive public and product liability. Are there any drawbacks to these?
Also is it cheaper to get product and public liability insurance at the same time and from same provider?
Personal experience and recommendations to insurance brokers/providers will be appreciated too.

It is very cheap to get liability cover these days for fairly safe businesses liike yours. I hope the soft furnishings business works our for you.
I work for a company that provides Liability Insurance and we are just starting to do shop insurance.
To be fair you will find loads of providers on Google - You probably don't need a massive policy.
Let me know if you have any questions - I will try and answer them.

Thanks for the recommendations. Any tips on how much I should expect to pay? I know the sectors are different but a general figure would be helpful before I start talking ot them.
I will contact them and update accordingly.
thanks again

Hi
I am a business / commercial insurance broker and would be quite happy to answer any of your questions and obtain quotes for you if you wish.
With regards to your other question, It is better to get your public and product liability at the same time and most insurers offer package polices which would cover both among other risks.
Please feel free to call or email me if you require any other advice, you could also visit our companies website (see below).
