Common Questions
General liability and commercial property are the foundation. Business income coverage is critically undervalued — most retailers can't absorb even a two-week closure without it.
At replacement cost — what it would cost to reorder today. Seasonal adjustments matter too; some policies let you adjust inventory limits by season to avoid being over- or underinsured.
Yes. Minnesota requires workers comp for all employees, including part-time and seasonal workers. There are no minimum-hours exceptions.
Online sales introduce additional exposures. We review your e-commerce operations and make sure your coverage extends appropriately to your full sales operation.
