What our customers are saying
Why do caterers need insurance?
Catering is a tricky balance of providing delicious dishes at venues that sometimes have limited facilities. As such, you’re used to planning for the unexpected. Business insurance fulfills that same goal by guarding against lawsuits from customer and employee injuries, food spoilage, damaged equipment, and other incidents.
