Insurance for Cabinet Makers

Public Liability

When the little things don’t go to plan, the consequences can have a big impact on your business. As a cabinet maker, one of the first insurances you may need to consider is Public Liability insurance.

As with many trades, it may also be a legal requirement to have Public Liability insurance in place before you undertake a contract or step on site.

Personal Accident & Illness insurance
