Through Ripe, the tanning salon insurance includes Public Liability and Treatment Risk cover as standard, providing financial protection against third-party claims.
You can also include other forms of insurance, such as Equipment or Buildings cover, to help financially protect your business against theft or damage.

You are only legally obliged to take out Employer’s Liability insurance if you employ others as part of your business; whether you take out other forms of cover is up to you.
Through Ripe, Public Liability and Treatment Risk cover are included as standard for both spray tan specialists and salon owners, which you may want to consider to help financially protect your business against third-party claims.
Say you or one of your staff members accidentally damages a client’s designer handbag during their tanning session. Having this cover in place could protect your business from the expense of replacement.
You are not legally required to have insurance for your mobile spray tanning business. However, you may want to consider spray tan insurance as a freelancer to help protect your business against theft, damage, or third-party claims.
Public Liability and Treatment Risk cover is included as standard through Ripe, and you can opt to cover your contents, shop front, fixtures and fittings, or tenants' improvements up to a combined value of £250k, to help financially protect your equipment while you’re travelling to your appointments.
