Legal proceedings can be complicated and expensive if you don’t have the correct cover in place.

With Churchill’s flexible insurance, you get reliable, cost‐effective cover for all aspects of your business.

You can tailor your insurance to suit the unique needs of your business and only pay for the cover you need.

Public Liability Insurance isn’t legally compulsory for hairdressers but most people in the industry think it’s essential.
