From fresh food and irresistible treats to clothing, arts, crafts, and bric-a-brac, Australia has become spoiled for choice when it comes to markets. And with the festive season fast approaching, there’s no better time to jump onboard the market stall bandwagon to bring in some extra cash.

Whether it’s serving up the best cupcakes in town at the local market stall, helping people reach their full potential with online coaching or starting a blog on mastering the art of juggling, many Aussie’s dream of making their side hustle dream a reality.

Every business faces risks, whether you’re a tradie, café owner, or market stall operator. That’s where Public and Product Liability insurance come in. Together, they help protect your business if your work or products cause injury or property damage to someone else.

It also comes with the responsibility of managing your finances, marketing and other key plans for success. Any solid business plan should have a focus on risk management strategies and protection for your business for the long haul.
