What is Market Traders Insurance?
Market Traders Insurance is a policy built around the risks of running a stall or pitch. Public liability usually sits at the centre, with options such as stock cover and employer’s liability if you have staff. Together they can help with compensation claims, damaged or stolen stock and other losses after an insured event.

Market locations
Stalls in busy city centres, indoor malls or large events can be rated differently to smaller local markets.
Stall setup and security
How your stall is laid out, how stock is secured and whether you pack away overnight can all influence pricing.
Staff, turnover and claims history
Your annual takings, number of helpers and any past claims all feed into how much you pay for cover.
Traders Insurance?
Markets are busy, with customers handling stock, children running past stalls and traders loading in and out. A customer could trip over a stand, a gust of wind could pull a display over onto a parked car, or stock could be stolen while you are setting up. Public liability insurance helps with compensation and legal costs if someone is injured or property is damaged, while stock cover helps you recover after theft or damage. Employer’s liability is also important if you use staff, helping with claims for injuries or illness linked to the work.
