Business insurance for a retail business needs to meet your company's specific needs. It should be customized to address the specific risks your company faces while also keeping your budget in mind. When it comes to retail insurance, here are the most common areas of risk associated with managing a retail establishment. 
General Liability Insurance
General liability insurance comprehensively protects your business from risks associated with operating your company. For example, if a customer falls, this coverage may help pay for his medical bills.
Property Insurance
Retail establishments do not always own their buildings. But even if they do not, property insurance is a necessary form of business insurance. It helps protect the assets of the company such as equipment, inventory, and other items located inside the location. Additionally, it provides building insurance, which protects the actual structure. This is necessary for owner operators. Property insurance can help protect the structure from fire, vandalism, theft and damage from some weather incidents.
Loss of Income Insurance
If a cover incident like a fire occurs and damages the company's inventory, usually the company cannot operate and sell products. This form of coverage keeps vendors and employees paid during that time.
Workers Compensation Insurance
Retail insurance should offer a component of workers compensation. It helps to protect the company against lawsuits, medical bills and lost time off work filed by employees due to injury or illness directly related to the company.
In addition to these types of business insurance policies, retail companies may also need additional plans. For example, identity theft insurance or valuable paper coverage. If the company operates any type of delivery service, commercial auto insurance cold also be quite valuable.
As a business owner, it's important to work closely with your insurance provider to create a policy that addresses your specific areas of concern.
Minimizing these risks can help to keep the company operational during unforeseen circumstances like these listed above and help safeguard your investment.
