How retail liability insurance protects your business

Retail liability insurance can be required by your city, state or profession. Even if it’s not mandatory, business insurance for your retail store can help cover costs if:

  • You injure a non-employee or damage someone else’s property.
  • Someone says that your professional mistake caused a financial loss.
  • A fire, theft or vandalism damages your business.
  • A covered event, such as a burst pipe, damages your products, business gear, equipment and inventory.**

Retails most often purchase these types of insurance:

General Liability insurance for retail

A general liability insurance policy can help protect you from expenses related to accidental damage to property you don’t own or an injury to someone who’s not an employee (such as customer slip-and-fall injuries).

This type of liability insurance could provide financial help for medical payments, legal fees and judgments.

Learn more about General Liability insurance.

Commercial Property insurance for retail

This can help protect your business property, such as gear, goods, business inventory and the building you own for business in the event of fire, theft and vandalism.

It can also help protect business inventory, furniture and fixtures you own. Equipment breakdowns and lost income may also be covered if you suddenly have to close business for repairs.

Product Liability insurance for retail

Consider this coverage if you source, make or sell products.

Product liability coverage — included in general liability insurance — can help protect your small business from losses if a customer says that an issue with your product caused them injury or property damage.

We typically recommend:
Workers' Compensation Insurance
Workers’ Compensation insurance for retail

A workers’ comp insurance policy can help make work-related accidents and injuries easier. Coverage from an insurance company can help pay for medical bills from employee injuries, lost wages while recuperating and more.

It is required in most states if you have employees.

Learn more about Workers’ Comp insurance.
Commercial Auto Insurance
Commercial Auto insurance for retail

If you own or drive a vehicle for work, personal auto insurance doesn’t usually provide coverage if, say, you cause a collision on the way to a client’s office.

Most states require a commercial auto insurance policy for business-owned vehicles to help pay for medical expenses and property damage after an accident.

Learn more about Commercial Auto insurance.
Business Owner Policy
BOP insurance (Business owner’s policy) for retail

BOP insurance combines all of the coverage of both general liability and commercial property insurance into a single comprehensive package that’s often more affordable than buying two separate policies.

NEXT customer reviews

I am so excited
I am totally excited about my new insurance for my small business. I am happy that the price was in a range that I can afford, the terms were easy to understand and it was so simple to purchase my first policy. I look forward to doing business with you in the future.
Curzella J.
Easiest insurance purchase – EVER!
I was looking around trying to compare insurance and I am so lucky I found NEXT. I was able to compare levels of coverage, and all the options, without pressure from a salesperson or time limits. I was able to check out prices and it was more coverage for less than the “traditional” company I looked at.
Michael W.
Happy small business owner!
I needed liability insurance for my new small business brick & mortar location. I got the run around from another company, but NEXT provided a competitive insurance quote in a timely manner. I now have the insurance that I need and it was stress-free!
