Nah my liability insurance is 420 a year based on 2000 units sold and 950 to insure the workshop for theft fire and loss of earnings , the insurance for doing military stuff that goes to the bottom of the sea however

2000 units sold
As in 2000 frames, per year? Or ever?
I don’t imagine I’ll be doing many more than a dozen or so a year for the first few years.
Would you or @RunRabbitRun be willing to share the name of your insurer? By pm if you prefer. Like I say, not a clue where to start!

Found some stuff on some forums.
Was pretty depressing tbh.
Like, the advice was either pay up before you sell your first frame and accept you'll be paying premiums for the rest of you/your frames lives or fuck it all off because insurance policies aren't actually worth the paper they are printed on.
I thought learning the skills of framebuilding would be difficult (and obviously I'm years from mastering those) but navigating the red tape seems like a far harder (and much less fun) task.
I've booked myself on a business gateway startup seminar and contacted them to see if there's an advisor I can chat with about this stuff.
