Many ice cream vendors operate seasonally especially in the UK, where the weather can be unpredictable. Some insurers offer seasonal insurance or part-time cover, so you’re not paying full whack for months you’re not trading. It’s always worth asking about flexible options, especially if you only operate between spring and early autumn.​
