Retail
Retail insurance that covers your store, your inventory, and the risks between them.
RETAIL OVERVIEW
Coverage programs built for the full retail risk profile — in-store, online, and seasonal.
Retail businesses face a unique combination of premises liability from customer foot traffic, product liability from the merchandise they sell, and cyber exposure from the payment and customer data they collect. A business owner's policy built for retail — not a generic small business template — closes the gaps that leave most retail operators underinsured.
Premises & customer injury
General liability structured for high-foot-traffic retail environments — covering slip-and-fall claims, merchandise incidents, and advertising injury.
Product liability protection
Products-completed operations coverage that protects you when merchandise you sold injures a customer — even when the manufacturer bears primary responsibility.
Seasonal inventory coverage
Property coverage with agreed value endorsements and seasonal adjustment provisions — so your Q4 inventory peak is covered, not just your slow-season baseline.
Omnichannel cyber protection
Cyber coverage for POS system breaches, e-commerce platform vulnerabilities, loyalty program data, and CRM exposure.
