Find a Farmers Agent

 

Whatever your specialization, you know you need to protect your retail store from the unexpected. And because Farmers® agents are small business owners just like you, they can help you understand coverage options as you analyze your needs and select coverage.

Here are just some of the risks you can help manage with Farmers coverage:


Property damage

Risk:

A tree topples onto your building during a heavy ice storm, damaging your roof — and some inventory.

Coverage:

Business property insurance can help pay for damage to your building and business caused by vandalism, fires or other covered events.

Loss of income

Risk:

Your shop must remain closed for several weeks to repair damage from a large fire that started in your storeroom.

Coverage:

Business income coverage can help replace lost profits while damage to your store and equipment is being repaired.

Injuries

Risk:

A customer in your boutique sprains a wrist when she trips over a shoebox that was left on the floor.

Coverage:

Business liability insurance can help with the cost of claims when a customer is injured at your place of business.

Employee theft

Risk:

An employee forges your signature in order to cash a company check.

Coverage:

Business crime insurance helps cover money and securities losses stemming from robbery, fraud, forgery or employee theft of money or securities.

Get insurance you can tailor to your particular needs

With coverage from Farmers, you can select the coverage you want — and decide what insurance is right for your business. For example:

  • Equipment breakdown coverage can help pay for damage — and the resulting loss of income — if covered equipment fails as a result of a covered cause of loss.
  • Spoilage coverage can help reimburse you if perishable goods are ruined by a mechanical breakdown or power outage.
  • Transportation and cargo insurance can help with the cost of goods you are transporting for others if they’re damaged or lost in transit.
  • Personal and advertising injury insurance can help with legal liabilities if you inadvertently use another company’s slogan in an advertisement — or a competitor accuses you of slander.

I'm thinking about turning my online clothing boutique into a storefront, but I worry about the things that might go wrong. What type of insurance should I consider?

Your business policy can cover a wide range of people who have an interest in your company or perform work on its behalf. The coverage provided by your policy helps you protect yourself and others with an ownership stake in the company. In other words, a single business policy can cover the interests of all owners.

Congratulations on the new business! Looking into business insurance options is a smart move. Business liability insurance coverage can help you pay legal costs when someone — such as a customer or visitor — is hurt or suffers property damage and blames you and your business. If your company is found to be at fault, your business is legally responsible for the costs.
