So (long story) dh and I foolishly assumed we didn't need commercial ins on our van because the city said we didn't. Well, turns out we do. I phoned thinking crap this is going to cost us a tonne of $$...well, turns out, commercial ins is cheaper than personal...icon_lol.gif funny eh??

And to add my business to our house ins is only $350 more. That's not a problem to be able to sleep at night. (I had nightmares of my house burning down last night icon_lol.gif).

So....don't be scared to get the proper ins. You might be surprised...

I called about getting liability insurance, which is what I was told I would need to sell at a local farmer's market. I was thinking this is going to cost a fortune! Well, for $300,000 liability insurance, it's going to cost a whopping $191 a year. I'm not doing it this year, but it's good to know for maybe next year.

I tell ya, us women get ourselves all worked up with worrying! Hubby yells at me all the time to relax. It's in my genes, I can't!

When I called for quotes on insurance for the space I'm looking to rent, I was told just under $500 for the basics, and another $380 or so for the additional 'food business' bundle if I wanted it.

mpc, you own your commercial space, correct?
