You might want to talk to the apartment manager to see if they will allow candle making. Above that, yes you would still need to purchase insurance for your candle business.HTH and Have Fun Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blacktieaffair Posted August 17, 2012 Share Posted August 17, 2012 Jeanie's absolutely right. Before you do ANYTHING , talk to your landlord ( or if you own, the co-op) in your building, and make sure you can even do this at your place. You really don't want to buy supplies ( they aren't cheap ) and then go through the hassle of finding insurance and paying for it ( it's usually not cheap either ) only to find out you can't even use the stuff there.Then you are left with either renting somewhere else to make your things ( that gets REAL expensive sometimes ) or selling your stuff off cheaply, or... well, sitting on them .

funkymonkey66 Posted August 17, 2012 Share Posted August 17, 2012 (edited) After you clear it with your landlord call your renters insurance carrier. You would be surprised that you need to let them know you're making candles. If you have a fire or a another tenant does and it reaches you're candlemaking stuff- you're not covered. You need a rider on your policy and the max you can get is only $5,000. Candlemaking insurance if you can get it in your state covers your legal fees and or damages of a sold product to a consumer, not your business material loss.
