Product liability insurance is an integral component of retail operations. Not only can it cover legal and financial risks associated with products sold, but it can also act as protection should anything go wrong with those products sold by retailers.
Know which items are at risk. Educate staff members to watch out for theft. Publicize the consequences of shoplifting and pay attention to dressing rooms when publicizing these consequences; engage customers; schedule accordingly, install cameras and mirrors, and engage them as a preventive measure.
Most establishments need both property and liability coverage. Workers' comp is also typically mandated in most states if you employ staff. Business umbrella insurance provides additional liability protection in case of legal actions brought against the store.
Business personal property (BPP) coverage covers equipment, furniture, fixtures, and inventory used or stored within your workspace - such as equipment that belongs to you personally as well as any you rent out or use for rental purposes.
