Core Insurance Coverage for Gift Shops
General Liability Insurance
This policy protects you from lawsuits due to customer injuries or property damage inside your store. It covers legal defense, medical bills, and settlements. For example, if a shopper is hurt by a falling display, this policy has you covered.
Commercial Property Insurance
Covers your store’s physical assets, buildings, shelves, signage, POS systems, and especially inventory. If fire, theft, or storm damage occurs, you’ll be able to repair or replace what’s lost.
Business Interruption Insurance
When disaster forces you to temporarily shut down, this policy replaces lost income and helps you pay fixed expenses like rent and wages. This is especially important during holiday seasons.
Workers’ Compensation Insurance
Required in most states, this coverage pays for every employee’s injuries or illnesses that happen on the job, such as lifting injuries or falls from ladders. It protects both your team and your business from medical costs and lawsuits.
Cyber Liability Insurance
Gift shops that accept digital payments are vulnerable to hacks and breaches. This policy covers response costs, legal fees, notification services, and lost revenue from cyberattacks.
Product Liability Insurance
If something you sell hurts a customer or damages their property, this coverage helps with legal costs and payouts. It’s key for shops that sell food, electronics, candles, toys, or imported goods.
