Public liability insurance for stallholders

Protect your business against claims made if your business activities have caused an injury or property damage.

Public liability claims can arise from any number of situations. For example, a customer at your stall might accidentally get injured by part of your stall falling on them. That’s why it’s important to have the right insurance cover in place so that both you and your business are protected financially should something happen.

Our Marketline-branded public liability insurance can provide cover for up to £10million for any one claim.

Product liability insurance for stallholders

Product liability insurance can protect you against the cost of compensation for:

Personal injury caused by a faulty product
Loss of or damage to property caused by your faulty product

For example, a customer might accidentally fall ill with food poisoning or have an allergic reaction to something they ate from your stall.

Our Marketline-branded liability insurance automatically includes cover for products liability up to the same amount as for public liability.

Employers’ liability insurance for stallholders

If your market trader or stallholder business has employees, you're legally required to have an Employers’ liability in place, even if they are just temporary workers or unpaid volunteers.

Employer’s liability insurance can protect your business against claims for compensation for any injury caused to an employee. For example, if an employee slips on a wet floor and injures themselves, they could make a claim against you for compensation.

Our Marketline-branded liability insurance allows you to include Employer’s Liability insurance for permanent staff, temporary staff, or both, and will automatically cover you for up to £10 million.

Frequently asked questions

Do I need insurance for my market stall?

If you run a market stall, there’s a good chance that you’ve questioned what would happen to your business operations if something were to go wrong.

Without the correct insurance in place, unforeseen circumstances could seriously threaten your livelihood and the future of your business. That’s why buying our Marketline-branded liability insurance for stallholders will provide you with the peace of mind you need to trade with confidence.
