General retail and commercial insurance is a must for any retailer or business that develops, manufactures, or sells products.
Product Liability Insurance
As a retailer, you are selling something to your customers. Once that product is sold, you may still be responsible for the actions of that product. For example, if you sell tires and a customer suffers an accident due to the tire you sold them blowing out, you could be held liable for selling a defective product, despite you not knowing. Product liability usually covers defects resulting from mislabeling, manufacture error or defectivity.
Commercial General Liability
When you own a physical storefront, you become responsible for assuring the safety of the customers within your store. If a customer slips and falls in your store, you could be looking at a lawsuit headed your way to cover damages. When you have commercial general liability (CGL) insurance, legal fees and settlement costs could be partially or completely covered. CGL insurance typically covers property and bodily damage costs, so long as the damages are accidental.

Property Insurance
For big or small businesses, protecting your storefront location from natural elements and criminal activity is essential. Without property insurance, you could be looking at paying thousands of dollars in repair costs should your property be subject to the wrath of mother nature or a victim of crime. When it comes to what your property insurance covers, you want to make sure that your building structure, along with your store stock, is insured by the policy. This way, if you have a break-in or fire, everything can be financially replaced.

Wholesaling and Manufacturing Insurance
Taking out a comprehensive Wholesaling and Manufacturing insurance policy is important for many reasons. Firstly, it protects you in case of legal liabilities that may arise from damage or injury to third parties. Such claims can result from accidents that occur on your premises or to your products. Additionally, liability covers a wide range of other risks, including injury to contractors or members of the public.
Other risks that you may have to take into account include litigation arising from health and safety issues. Similarly, while the risks in manufacturing and wholesale operations vary widely, typical risks include physical damage to property, theft of equipment, computer problems and machinery breakdowns.
Purchasing a Business Owner’s Policy (BOP)
When purchasing an insurance policy for your business, you may wonder whether a business owners’ policy is the best option for you. Business owners’ policies combine a number of coverage types in a single policy. These policies typically include general liability, commercial property insurance, and business interruption insurance. You can also add additional coverages to your policy, if necessary. While purchasing a business owners’ policy is a great option for most businesses, you should carefully evaluate the benefits and costs of each one to determine which one is best for you. That’s where isure steps in. While cheap policies may seem alluring, they may not give you all of the protection you need.
Adding a Vendor’s Endorsement to a General Liability Policy
Adding a vendor’s endorsement to your general liability policy is essential if you plan to sell products made by a third-party manufacturer. The additional insured status is often required by retailers and major distributors.
Protecting your inventory in transit
Inventory is likely your biggest asset, and it can be vulnerable to damage during its journey from supplier to warehouse to customer. Damage can occur during inbounding, while the inventory is being picked and packed, and even during transit to the customer. In many cases, the damaged or lost goods may never reach the customer, and that can be disastrous for your reputation. Luckily, there are many ways to protect your inventory.
Protecting your business
If your business involves purchasing and distributing goods, you should consider obtaining property, commercial general liability, and product liability insurance. These are typical for wholesale and manufacturing insurance coverage, and our brokers are here to assist with your policy needs. We can find you the most suitable policy for your business that works for your specific budget and needs. Give us a call today at 1 (877) 514-7873!
