Built for retail and wholesale risk
Retail and wholesale businesses face daily risks that standard policies often miss. Customers on your floor, inventory in storage, employees handling transactions, shipments in motion, vendor requirements, and lease obligations all demand protection. We build programs that cover your full operation, not just the building.
Common risks we help review
Every retail and wholesale operation is different. Here are the exposures we typically evaluate.
Customer slip-and-fall injuries
A customer slips on a wet floor or trips on merchandise. General liability covers medical expenses and legal costs if you're found responsible.
Inventory theft, damage, or spoilage
Fire, water, storm, or equipment failure can destroy inventory and equipment. Commercial property and inland marine coverage protect your stock at your location, in warehouses, or in transit.
Employee injuries and workers' compensation claims
Workers' compensation covers medical care and lost wages if an employee is injured on the job. It's required in most states and protects your business from lawsuits.
General liability
Covers customer injuries and third-party bodily injury claims.
Commercial property
Protects your building, fixtures, equipment, and inventory from loss.
Workers' compensation
Required coverage for employee medical care and lost wages.
Commercial auto
Covers vehicles used for business deliveries and operations.
Inventory, property, and interruption
Inventory is often your largest asset. We review stock at your location, in warehouses, and in transit. We also evaluate business interruption coverage so you're protected if operations are disrupted by a covered loss.
Online sales and cyber risk
E-commerce, payment systems, and customer data create new exposures. Cyber liability coverage protects against fraud, system downtime, and data breaches that can disrupt your business.

Questions
Find answers to common questions about retail and wholesale coverage.
Most retail businesses need general liability to cover customer injuries, commercial property for the building and fixtures, workers' compensation for employees, and commercial auto if you operate vehicles. Many also benefit from product liability, crime coverage, and business interruption protection.
Wholesalers typically need general liability, commercial property for warehouse and inventory, workers' compensation, commercial auto, and inland marine coverage for goods in transit. Depending on your customer base and contracts, you may also need product liability and umbrella coverage.
Yes. Standard commercial property policies have limits on inventory coverage. Inland marine or special property endorsements can protect stock at your location, in warehouses, or in transit. We review seasonal changes and growth to ensure adequate limits.
E-commerce adds cyber risk, payment processing exposure, and data security concerns. Cyber liability coverage can protect against fraud, system downtime, and customer data breaches. We help hybrid retailers address both physical and digital risks.
If you accept payments, store customer information, or operate a website, cyber coverage is worth reviewing. It protects against ransomware, payment fraud, system interruption, and notification costs if data is exposed.
