kandlekrazy Posted November 10, 2017 Share Posted November 10, 2017 When you sell wholesale do you provide a copy of your insurance certificate or an additionally insured certificate to the store buying? I used to automatically include one with my wholesale packet and now that I'm on the end of buying wholesale soaps the makers look at me like I'm crazy when I ask for it.??

Jcandleattic Posted November 15, 2017 Share Posted November 15, 2017 I only provide it when they ask for it. However, if you ask for it, they should be able to provide it. If they can't, I'd have serious doubts as to how legit they are as a business. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kandlekrazy Posted November 17, 2017 Author Share Posted November 17, 2017 I'm realizing that most of the people here that make soap & candles do not have insurance. They run businesses , have websites, do markets (which kills me because in So Cal we had to provide cert to the market) and have no insurance and most likely no business license unless they have their own store.

Crazy isn't it? to get into bigger and better venues you really need to show proof of insurance, and name the additional insured. It is simply a cost of doing business. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't understand how people are not afraid of losing everything in this litigious society. People will sue over EVERYTHING. Even when I took my 2.5 year break, I kept my insurance because I had been selling for about 9 years prior to that, and I was afraid I still had product out there, and even though *I* knew it was a safe product is used correctly, I also know how people are and I didn't want to get caught with my pants down so to speak.. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shari Posted November 17, 2017 Share Posted November 17, 2017 I can't imagine selling without insurance. Not worth the risk. Crazy stuff in my eyes. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
