Car insurance on partners car, magnetic signs for my business

Options
Hi,

I have started a small business and want to purchase some of the magnetic signs which can be placed on vehicles, hopefully these will be seen around town etc and generate the odd lead.


Question: My partners car is insured as a personal vehicle and will not be connected with the running of my business.... So can I still put adverts on the car or would this then mean business use car insurance being required?

Thanks!

    Interesting question as most cars already carry 2 adverts, manufacturer and dealer.

    Plus National Trust, RSPB, Fred's Fun Farm, etc etc

    You would need to declare it and they may want to add business use anyway.

    Business use on both our cars, for the policyholder and spouses businesses cost nothing extra at renewal.
    A mid term change probably will though.
    Worth doing next time around.

    magnets as long as not used for business is fine.
    Don't put your trust into an Experian score - it is not a number any bank will ever use & it is generally a waste of money to purchase it. They are also selling you insurance you dont need.
