Jo Ann Posted November 19, 2007 Share Posted November 19, 2007 just a census to see how many ppl make and sell soap with or without insurance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CareBear Posted November 19, 2007 Share Posted November 19, 2007 but once I start selling (soon, I hope) I will have to have insurance. many venues will require you to provide proof of insurance, and besides it's a good idea. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Meridith Posted November 19, 2007 Share Posted November 19, 2007 Personally, I wouldn't sell without insurance. Our society is just too litigious for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fire and Ice Posted November 19, 2007 Share Posted November 19, 2007 Do a search for a Crafters Guild in you state and read their web site. Chances are, they have an insurance company that they go through for candles and soap makers. They generally get better rates because of so many members. But be aware, you have to pay in up front once a year generally and you have to keep up your membership with the guild in order to contiune the same discount rate. My insurance will have to be updated when I go to sell but that won't be for over 6 months at least. Fire Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
