I have searched the forums, and i cant find anything that is current on this topic, only stuff from up to 10 years ago! I'm currently 11 months into my IVA, and i'm looking at starting a new business, doing Shellac gel nails (as a side line to my normal day job). I am REALLY struggling with finding Public Liability Insurance to do this. I only need to cover myself, at home and mobile. I don't need my equipment insuring, just want cover in case something goes wrong (allergic reaction for example). I have already contacted every company that was suggested in the old threads (AXA, AA, Woodstock, Hiscox, Towergate etc.) but none cover people who are currently in an IVA.
My opinions are merely that .. opinions based on experience. Always seek professional advice.
