What types of business insurance do jewelry stores need?
Business owner's policy
A business owner's policy, or BOP, is a cost-effective way for jewelers to buy general liability coverage and commercial property insurance together.
- Customer lawsuits
- Damaged or stolen jewelry
- Business interruption insurance
General liability insurance
A general liability policy covers common third-party risks, such as accidentally dropping a customer’s watch. Bundle it with commercial property insurance for savings in a BOP.
- Slip-and-fall accidents
- Damaged customer property
- Product liability insurance
Workers’ compensation insurance
Most states require workers' comp for jewelry stores that have employees. It also protects sole proprietors from work injury costs that health insurance might deny.
- Employee medical expenses
- Disability benefits
- Lawsuits from employee injuries
Cyber insurance
This policy helps jewelry stores survive data breaches and cyberattacks. It's recommended for any small business that handles credit cards or other sensitive data.
- Customer notification expenses
- Fraud monitoring services
- Cyber extortion demands
Commercial umbrella insurance
Once a jeweler’s policy limit is reached, umbrella insurance (similar to excess liability insurance) boosts coverage on general liability, commercial auto, or employer’s liability insurance.
- Bodily injury lawsuits
- Property damage lawsuits
- Auto accident lawsuits
Commercial auto insurance
Most states require commercial auto insurance for business-owned vehicles. This policy covers accidents involving a jeweler's delivery van or other vehicle.
- Damage to another vehicle
- Injuries caused to another person
- Vehicle theft and vandalism
How much does insurance cost for retail businesses?
A small jewelry shop will pay less for insurance than a larger business.
Factors that affect jewelry store insurance costs include:
- Products and services, such as engagement rings, watch repair, or ear piercing
- Business property and equipment
- Business income
- Business location
- Types of insurance purchased
- Coverage limits and deductibles
