## Frequently Asked Retail Insurance Questions

 How much does insurance for a retail business cost?

Retailers can sell a broad assortment of products and services. This means that they are exposed to different types of risk which may change the amount and kinds of insurance coverage they require.

Ultimately, the cost of coverage is influenced by several key variables, such as:

- Yearly revenue
- Size of retail space
- Rent or own store space
- Inventory value
- Number of employees
- Type of products you sell
- Do you offer additional services?
- Business location
- Past claim history

 What type of insurance does a retailer need?

Every retailer offers something unique which means no two coverage requirements are the same. For example, a flower shop that also caters their products to special events may require different insurance coverage than a toy shop that operates out of the local mall.

Many retail businesses should consider some of these insurance policies:

- Business Owner's Policy
- Workers' Compensation Insurance
- Commercial Auto Insurance
- General Liability Insurance
- Commercial Property Insurance
- Business Interruption Coverage
- Cyber Liability Insurance
- Product Liability Insurance
- Employment Practices Liability Insurance

To understand your business’s requirements, you should work with a knowledgeable insurance agent to identify which of these policies best fits your needs.

 Which retailers need insurance?

Any retailer that sells items to a consumer (online, in-person, or both) should consider common retail insurance coverages. These companies include:

- Flower shops
- Jewelry stores
- Pet stores
- Clothing & apparel shops
- Supermarkets
- Discount stores
- Department outlets
- Drug stores
- Gift shops
- Toy shops
