What is furniture manufacturing insurance?

This is specialist insurance for furniture manufacturers, to cover every aspect of your business. A single furniture manufacturer’s insurance policy can cover your stock and raw materials, your equipment and machinery, your staff, and more.

Your policy can also include product liability cover. If any of your items are ever found to be defective after you ship them, your policy can cover all of the costs associated with a product recall.


What insurance do furniture manufacturers need?

Some forms of cover are required by law. If you employ any staff, for example, then you are legally required to have employer’s liability insurance. Certain clients and suppliers may require you to have other forms of liability cover as part of your contract. Plus, you may be required to have buildings cover for your premises as part of your lease agreement.

Beyond this, you have no obligations to have any form of cover. However, if you manufacture any sort of furniture at any sort of scale, then you should consider comprehensive furniture manufacturer’s insurance to cover you for the many risks you will face in your work.

Without adequate cover, the slightest setback could ruin your business. But with cover, you would have the support and the resources necessary to recover from almost any event.
