Commercial General Liability Insurance is standard coverage for all businesses and can cover medical expenses, property damage, lawyer’s fees, settlements and judgments for lawsuits alleging personal injury, property damage, libel/slander and false advertising. Depending on the products you sell, you may also need an extension for Product Liability Insurance.
Property Insurance can provide coverage for both your inventory, whether stored onsite or in a warehouse and the structures, equipment, devices, etc., used or transported by your business. A comprehensive property insurance policy should also include a sufficient goods in transit limit which provides door-to-door coverage for shipments and transportation of expensive and sensitive electronic equipment.
