Do you legally need public liability insurance for a business in Scotland?

Yes

-

Hello, it all depends on what your business will do - as far as I am aware the only trade that is legally required to have public liability is a horse riding company. With every other trade it is just heavily recommended. Public Liability insurance protects you and your business against any damage that you cause to your clients property or persons. If you have any employees you are legally required to have employers liability insurance. It protects your business and your employees if they get injured whilst working for you - it pays medical costs and other associated costs.

What kind of work is the business going to be doing?

Kind Regards
