Frequently Asked Questions

What insurance do I need for my retail store in Florida?

At minimum, you need general liability, workers compensation, and commercial property. Most retail stores benefit from a Business Owners Policy (BOP) which bundles property and liability at a better rate. If you sell products, product liability coverage is essential.

Does retail insurance cover theft?

Commercial property insurance covers theft of inventory and equipment, subject to your policy limits and deductibles. However, there's typically no coverage for shoplifting losses (that's just a cost of doing business). Employee theft may be covered under crime insurance, which you can add to your policy.

How much does retail business insurance cost?

Costs vary based on your store size, inventory value, number of employees, and coverage needs. Most small retail stores pay $2,000-6,000/year for comprehensive coverage. High-value inventory or larger stores will be at the higher end.

Do I need product liability insurance if I resell products?

Yes, product liability is crucial for any retailer. If a product you sell causes injury or property damage, you can be held liable even if you didn't manufacture it. Product liability coverage protects you against these claims.
