What Can Beauty Therapist Insurance Cover?
1. Public Liability Insurance
Public liability insurance can offer protection if a client or third party suffers an injury or property damage linked to your beauty treatments or activities. This can be considered essential for beauty therapists working in salons, mobile environments, or client homes.
2. Employers’ Liability Insurance
Employers’ liability insurance can be required by law if you employ staff, apprentices, or even temporary workers. It can offer cover for injury or illness claims made by employees while working for your business.
3. Treatment Risk Cover
Treatment risk insurance can provide protection specifically for claims arising from the beauty treatments you offer, including allergic reactions, burns, or skin irritations that may result from professional services.
4. Equipment and Stock Insurance
Equipment insurance can offer cover for beauty tools, machines, and products against theft, accidental damage, or loss. This may include items stored on your premises, in transit, or used in mobile services.
5. Personal Accident Cover
Personal accident insurance can offer financial support if you are unable to work due to injury, which can be especially important for self-employed beauty therapists.
6. Business Interruption Cover
Business interruption cover can offer financial assistance if your beauty therapy work is temporarily halted due to insured events such as fire, flood, or theft.
