    Why should I consider beauty salon insurance?

    • You may not see operating a beauty salon as a high-risk venture, but as with all small businesses, accidents can still happen.

      Specialist beauty salon insurance is designed to protect your business against costly claims from employees or clients and provides financial protection for your equipment and business premises if anything is damaged or stolen.

      Say one of your employees trips on a wet floor and makes a claim against you, or the business property you own is damaged in a fire—having the correct beauty salon insurance can protect your business in the worst-case scenarios.

    What does beauty salon insurance cover?

    • Your chosen level of cover depends on what you want to protect your business against, but the three main types of beauty salon insurance are:

      • Public and Products liability—this cover is included on all policies and protects you against third-party claims for personal injury or property damage

      • Treatment Risks—this ensures that if a treatment were to cause damage to your client, such as an allergic reaction you are covered

      • Employers’ Liability—this cover is a legal requirement if you employ others in your salon

      You may want to include Money Cover to provide financial protection if money belonging to your business is stolen from your salon or in transit. This can be especially useful if you deal in cash.

      Buildings Cover is another option if you wish to protect a premises you own or are responsible for if the building or contents are damaged.
