The Resourceful Retailer discusses baking hot cross buns and business insurance.
What better way to spend the run up to Easter weekend than tucking into a warm and toasty hot cross bun (or two)! After all, your home-based, online business means you can enjoy all the benefits of working when and how you want.
Spending time baking a delicious treat in your kitchen is definitely one of the best ways to spend quality time with your family, or to unwind a little between work tasks on your e-commerce enterprise.
I recently tried out an easy and very tasty vegan version of the popular Easter baked bun recently, if you’re going to try out making your own, give this simple bake a go! Domestic Gothess Blog – vegan hot cross buns recipe
However, in 2020 the Fire Service saw an increase in weekday fires and fires earlier in the day – not unexpected with many of us settling into a home working routine.
According to the London Fire Brigade, working from home adds some extra risks, with fire crews called out to cooking-related fires in 60% of all house calls.
Imagine what this could mean for your home-based business if an accident stopped you working…
It might not be that you burn your buns, perhaps an electrical fire that causes an accident or injury; perhaps a burst water pipe ruins your stock or your computer. By putting in place an insurance policy that covers you in the event of something happening, you’ll be able to carry on cooking with peace of mind.
More importantly, insurance allows you to get on with your business and life just the way YOU want it.
What Do I Need from Online Business Insurance?
Serious business stuff doesn’t mean you have to forego a friendly face and a helpful provider. It’s always easier to get on with someone when they understand your business.
Jessica and Gary at Risk Kitchen Ltd are a small business just like you and understand the needs and issues you may face. Their approachable service offers a simple solution to help you figure out what you need to ensure you have your online store fully covered with appropriate insurance protection.
Chatting with Jess at Risk Kitchen, she says, “As well as the standard public and product liability cover, you should also consider your ecommerce (online) risks, such as Cyber Liability, advertising liability and infringement of intellectual property”.
If it all seems too hot to handle, and insurance is something you need to get sorted for your business, have a chat with Jess and Gary over at Risk Kitchen Ltd.
