Sometimes, a basic policy just doesn’t cut it. When your client runs a unique store, they need special coverage.
Getting generic insurance for your client’s store is simple and covers most of your bases. But when they want to stand out from their competitors, you may need to generate a surplus line to give them the complete coverage they need.
For example, one of our clients represented a person who owned and operated a boutique clothing store. They wanted to offer their customers wine while they shopped, but a general policy doesn’t cover alcohol. We were able to quickly set them up with an account that covered liquor exposure as well as property exposure and general liability.
Before the shop pops the bubbly, you have to consider every aspect of liability. How are they going to make sure they don’t serve customers under 21? What happens if a customer spills red wine on white pants? We’ll help you consider every angle, so you’re prepared for just about anything.
And serving complimentary alcohol is only one example. We can help you figure out how to make your client’s vision come to life in the safest way possible.
We once created an account for a shop that makes and sells bath bombs. We rapidly generated a general liability and property quote for both their storefront and the place where they make their products. Their primary insurance agent became a superhero in their eyes because they could produce the coverage they needed in a short amount of time.
We’ll be your secret weapon when it comes to covering the weird.
