Insurance
If you are looking for insurance to cover your work in exhibitions and/or public liability when interacting with the public, here are some options. You should always read carefully the full policy details to ensure that there are no exclusions of cover which would invalidate types of claims you are seeking to cover. Policy summaries only give an overview and if you rely on these, you may get a nasty surprise if/when you claim.
a-n policy - this policy is designed specifically for visual artists and is marketed by a-n on its website.
Complete home business insurance by Allianz - this is an extension to a standard home insurance policy offering extensive business cover at a low cost. To find out more contact J.L. Morris (Insurance Brokers) Ltd. in Broadstone.
