Guest guest Posted November 4, 2004 Report Share Posted November 4, 2004 When looking for insurance, it will vary greatly depending on where you manufactor your products. A lot of soapmakers use RLI, Bomba Insurance. Here is the link: _http://www.soapequipment.com/ltmolds/loaf_traymolds.html_ (http://www.soapequipment.com/ltmolds/loaf_traymolds.html) My understanding is Bomba will only insure if you make it in your home or no less than 100' from the house (like if you had an outbuilding). It is really cheap..somewhere around $250/yr. If you go to the Handmade Beauty Network at _http://www.handmadebeauty.com/_ (http://www.handmadebeauty.com/) , Donna offers a special rate insurance for homecrafters, but you have to be a member of HBN, which might be around a hundred bucks (haven't checked it out in awhile) But you can get rates first before signing up with HBN to see if it is the way you want to go. NOW...if you make your products off-site, that is a whole new ball of e-wax. You are looking at huge insurance rates..in the thousands of dollars for product liability etc. You might try and look around locally to see if you can find insurance. Good luck and I hope this helped you out some. Robin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 4, 2004 Report Share Posted November 4, 2004 This list is/has been one of the best I am on. Perhaps the members are not reading email at this time ... it's our busy season. I have been working 18 hours a day for the past 5 weeks. Did you try a search in the message archive? The subject of liability insurance has been discussed on an almost monthly basis on most of the soap lists I am on. Call a local ins. agent and ask if they will get with RLI and write you a policy. Do a google for Ken Bomba ... he writes the RLI policy in a number of states. (Bomba Agency) I got mine years ago by dropping into an independent ins. brokers office and advising him who the underwriter was and he got me the policy within a week. Be aware that candles ARE NOT covered in the RLI policy.

Guest guest Posted November 4, 2004 Report Share Posted November 4, 2004 I'm looking into RLI. I didn't post anything as I don't have any real info yet. I know an insurance broker, a fellow women's network member who will be evaluating the plan for me. Diane GreenFireHerbs.com " Never say 'can't' when there's a 'How About This' still to be tried!
