Coverage Options for Sporting Goods Store

Sporting goods retailers are a preferred Travelers class. Firearms dealers require specialty coverage and are generally ineligible for standard BOP.

Business Owners Policy

Bundles general liability and commercial property into a single, typically lower-cost policy for smaller and mid-sized operations.

General Liability

Protects against third-party claims of bodily injury, property damage, and advertising injury arising from your operations — the foundation of most commercial policies.

Products Liability

Covers claims that a product you sold or distributed, such as pet food or supplies, caused bodily injury or property damage, even if you didn't manufacture it.

Workers Compensation

Covers medical costs and lost wages for employees injured on the job, and is required in California for nearly every business with employees.

Commercial Auto

Covers owned, leased, or hired vehicles used for business purposes, including liability and physical damage from accidents.

Lease, Vendor & Compliance Requirements

Certificate of Insurance naming your landlord as additional insured, as required by most commercial leases
Business personal property and inventory values documented for accurate coverage limits
Point-of-sale and security system information on file, which can influence theft coverage and pricing
Vendor or supplier contracts reviewed for indemnification and product liability allocation
Seasonal inventory fluctuations reported so property limits stay adequate year-round
