When running a food-related company like a food truck or a concession stand, it's essential to have the proper insurance in place. These are the most basic standards that each food seller should have, while the specific requirements of their business may vary.
Insurance Against General Risks
If your company is sued for damages to a third party's property or injuries to its customers or employees, general liability insurance will pay for defense costs and medical expenses. Product liability insurance covers incidents like food poisoning claims and is usually included in general liability insurance. Event organizers sometimes require food sellers to get general liability insurance.
Business Insurance for Premises
Commercial insurance is a must whether you own a building for your company or have put costly equipment in a leased area. After a covered loss, such as a kitchen fire or vandalism, this helps pay to get things back up and running again. Some company owners may obtain additional coverage in case of natural disasters like earthquakes or floods, which are typically not covered by commercial property insurance.
Commercial Insurance Coverage
A business owner's policy (BOP) combines general liability and commercial property insurance into a single policy for certain food sellers. If a covered loss forces you to temporarily shut down operations, business interruption insurance may help you recover financially.
