Retail small business insurance.

Do you sell goods from a store? Do you sell goods from your own home? How about online? Whichever way you do it, make sure you’re protected with our retail business insurance solutions.

Protect your retail business.

Opening your own store takes passion, vision and hard work. You’ve made your dream a reality—make sure your customers, inventory and the dream you’ve worked so hard to build are protected from risk.

These are just some examples of retail businesses that should be protected:

Florists

Pet food / pet supply stores

Gift shops

Mens and Womens Clothing Store

Print and copy shops

Bakeries

Fashion accessories stores

Specialty food stores

Types of insurance coverage for retail businesses:

Business liability

An injured customer could lead to legal action and expensive lawsuits. Commercial General Liability coverage can help your retail business recover from these costs.

Property insurance

The equipment, furnishings and inventory in your store are sitting ducks for damage or theft. Commercial Property insurance can protect things inside your store and pay for the costs to replace them when a covered loss occurs.

Business interruption

Time is rarely on your side. When an insured event prevents you from doing what you love, Business Interruption Insurance can help you get back to business fast – and keep costs under control.

Commercial auto

Whether you’re moving flowers or flour, commercial auto insurance can help you protect a company car that you or your employees use to deliver products or pick up supplies.

Employee protection

Today’s talented employees want benefits from businesses like yours. Attract the best talent by protecting your employees and their loved ones with group benefits—like life insurance, health, and dental coverage.

Personal home and auto

Bundle your business insurance with your home and auto insurance to save the most. Spend less time dealing with the paperwork of multiple policies and renewal dates and more time on your business.

Why do retail businesses need insurance?

Protect your property

Your business relies on property: from the building itself to everything inside of it. Insurance can help you save time and money when your building needs repairs or when inventory needs replacing as a result of a covered loss.

Accidents happen

Even though you’ve created a safe and welcoming store for your customers, accidents can and do happen. Insurance can help you recover from costs that come from injuries to customers.

Protect your data

Protect sensitive customer information like names, addresses, and credit card numbers. If your business stores data online, insurance can protect you from expenses that come with data breaches.

Prevent theft

Keep your costs down by protecting your business from theft – a harsh reality for retail business owners. Insurance can help you replace stolen goods, supplies, or equipment.
