Retail store insurance typically costs $800–$3,000 per year through a Business Owners' Policy, depending on store size, inventory value, location, and number of employees. Ashmont Insurance Agency compares multiple carriers to find the most affordable option for your retail business.
A Business Owners' Policy for retail stores covers general liability (customer injuries, product claims) and commercial property (inventory, fixtures, equipment). Many BOPs also include business interruption coverage to replace lost income if your store must close temporarily.
Standard commercial property policies typically cover theft by outsiders. Employee theft (dishonesty) usually requires a separate crime or fidelity bond endorsement. Confirm your coverage details with an Ashmont Insurance Agency advisor.
Product liability is typically included within your general liability policy and covers claims that a product you sell caused bodily injury or property damage. If you manufacture or import products, you may need higher limits.
Yes. Ashmont Insurance Agency lets you compare retail store insurance from multiple carriers online in minutes. We evaluate your store type, inventory value, and location to find the most competitive BOP and coverage options available.
