I have been offered the chance to put up a small sign to advertise my buisness on a freinds property if i make sure i can be covered for public liability , is this the sort of thing that can be insured . thanks in advance .

Before you worry about insurance for the sign,do some homework about the regulations and planning consent you will require to erect the sign.
Good luck.

It's not as clear cut as that. Have you actually been to see the relevant department at your council.

I'm advising caution because I was caught out by this after no mean expense having two beautiful signs made only to find out that the site where I wanted to put them was classified as being in the national park even though it isn't
.
They appear to be able to make the rules up as they go along.

This is n ireland its all a bit differant here lol , the ground were the sign will be is at the rear of my freinds soliciters office private property , the local council do not get involved if the signage is below a certain size and not on a foot path or area controled by them . on my own property i have over 8 signs at all times with prices menus etc on them and have done for over 20 years . thanks for your input

Might have been worth mentioning that in your OP.

Your local broker should be able to assist, Should be fairly strait forward with a minimal premium to be honest
