If you own a home, it’s imperative that you have a Home Owner’s Policy, coverage that protects your property and personal belongings. With a Business Owner’s Policy, you’ll get that same protection for your food service business. It will provide you with three basic insurance coverages that are vital to every business owner:

1. General Liability—This type of coverage will protect your business in the event of lawsuits from parties claiming they were injured or their property was damaged as a result of your business. Examples include a person slipping while walking in your restaurant or a server causing bodily or property damage to a patron from spilling hot coffee or red wine on them. This also helps protect owners when it comes to claims of slander and libel. It’s important to remember that Business Liability insurance does not cover instances directly arising out of the professional services your restaurant may provide.

2. Commercial Property—From where your restaurant is located to your ovens, stovetops, plates, glasses and utensils, this will cover the physical location of your business and all the tools and equipment you own or lease.

3. Business Income—An important type of coverage since it helps cover any loss of income that may occur in the event you are unable to run your restaurant or business due to covered property damage.

With a Business Owner’s Policy, you will also be able to purchase numerous extra coverages, including:
• Accounts Receivable
• Signs
• Fire Protective Device Recharge
• Money & Securities
• Refrigerated Food Products
• Employee Dishonesty
• Vehicle Damage to Buildings
• Business Property of Others
• Valuable Papers and Records
• Glass
• Trees, Plants and Shrubs
• Credit Cards & counterfeit Money
• … and more
