Product liability insurance for small businesses
Product liability insurance is a product we sell alongside public liability insurance. It gives you a little bit of extra support if your business is held responsible for injuring someone or if they get sick from your product.
We’re not just talking about a less than delicious cake that makes someone feel ill. If you create, make, bake, manufacture, and then sell, distribute, supply or deliver your products to customers, then this cover is for you. There is nothing worse than a huge legal fee hitting your inbox - prepare for the worst so that you are covered.
Lukango has partnered with Markel Direct, who underwrite and administer the policies, to offer specialist product liability insurance for small businesses.
