Tangent Creations

Hey all! I am new to this board and am SOOO happy I found it! I run a Leather, Vinyl (graphics that is) and Metal shop in Indiana. I specialize in Armour and carving but will make just about anything! There is sooo much still to learn, that I don't think I'll ever know all there is!

Hey all! We also have a shop on our land seperate from our house. We cover it through the same company as our house and vehicles (which are great advertising!). Part is for liability for injuries of customers or workers and part is because of the nature of some of our equipment (we also do alot of metal work) that we're covered if our shop were to burn down. As for product liability, it keeps me from offering tack, though I'll make specific breakaway halters, and do minor repairs. I make my own tack, but I'm not going to sue myself . But on the customer end, we don't run a 'retail shop' on our land, so that wasn't too much of a problem. People come out only for special occasions... I did talk to a good friend of mine who runs a tack store, and she said that companies like Abbeta and Circle Y and such have some super serious liability insurance and that she had to have insurance too because she sells the product.
