Hello, can anyone recommend Product liability insurance for a 16yr old?
We've found public liability but need product liability too.
Many thanks.

    Much depends on the nature of the business, Business insurance can very specific and tailored for what's required. Be plenty of reputable providers give that insurance in general is a highly regulated industry. If in doubt use a commercial insurance broker to assist your son. 
  • He needs to talk to a commercial insurance broker.   Product liability can be tricky and potentially expensive, in my experience.  He will need to be able to prove that the balloons by design and materials themselves, won’t cause any damage to customers or their premises
