Is there a cost to add an additional insured?

Yes you need this liability insurance even if you have one of the above noted policies in effect.  Generally, home/condo/renter policies have an exclusion for business activities and products.

Purchasing business general liability through the HandMade Artisans Risk Purchasing Group insurance program saves you money on insurance premiums, because you are a member of the risk purchasing group. The risk purchasing group, which consists of individuals and businesses involved in similar business activities, namely products made by hand, has negotiated substantial premium discounts in behalf of its members from the insurance carrier.

If you are an artisan, who produces your own products by hand, or who has others produce your products by hand under your direct supervision, you are eligible, unless your products consist of the following: To view a list of eligible and ineligible products, click here
