Your final rate depends on the unique qualities of your business including your building, location, personal property, employees and other rating factors. Here are some coverage options that might apply to your retail business:

• Commercial Property: This kind of policy protects your physical store and its contents.  It could be used to cover losses due to weather events, theft, or damage to the building due to accidents such as car collisions or fires.
• General Liability: Covers retailers against accidents involving customers. For example, this could protect you against potential slips and falls while visitors are in your store.
• Workers’ Compensation: Coverage if your employees become ill or injured while on the job.
• Business Income: Used to reimburse income after suffering a loss that causes your business to temporarily shut down.
