Insurance Solutions
What insurance coverages are available for Retail Businesses?
Retail businesses, including gift shops, florist, clothing stores, e-commerce store and other retailers have unique insurance needs, based on their size, location, number of employees and assets.
Retailers can consider Businessowners Policy or Commercial Package Policy that includes liability and property insurance in a range of coverages and limits, allowing a business additional flexibility in tailoring their coverage to its specific needs.
Commercial Package Policy or Businessowners Policy?
Commercial Package Policy (CPP) insurance is an important investment for any retail business. CPP coverage includes Commercial Property Insurance, Commercial General Liability, and other lines of coverage tailored to your specific needs. By combining these different types of insurance into one comprehensive package plan, you can receive the peace-of-mind knowing that all aspects of your business are taken care of should something unexpected happen. Ultimately, a Commercial Package Policy will give you the financial protection so that you can continue creating a successful business.
Businessowners Policy insurance is an important investment for any retail business. It protects the store's property, provides liability coverage, and also covers income lost in the case of certain business interruptions. Businessowners Policy (BOP) also covers third-party property damage and bodily injury caused by your business’ products and services. Ultimately, a Businessowners Policy ensures that your retail business is covered in the event of a loss or lawsuit against your company. Investigating Businessowners Policy insurance options is a wise decision to make when protecting the assets of your retail business.
Either of these two policies can be purchased to benefit a business, but not both.The BOP is more comprehensive but the CPP can be tailored to their specific needs and limits. It is best to talk with your insurance agent to see which is the best fit for your business.
