Why do music stores need insurance?
Your customers often need to play instruments before they know which one to buy. That means high risks for your small music shop. Business insurance helps cover costs when a customer drops a guitar, or trips over equipment in your store. Some policies, like workers' comp, are required by law.

What types of business insurance do music stores need?
These insurance policies cover the most common risks of music stores.
Business owner's policy
A business owner's policy, or BOP, is a cost-effective way for music stores to buy general liability coverage and commercial property insurance together.
BEST FOR
- Customer lawsuits
- Stolen or damaged musical instruments
- Business interruption coverage
General liability insurance
A general liability policy covers basic third-party risks, such as a customer who sues your shop after tripping over an audio cable. Combine it with property coverage in a BOP for a discount.
BEST FOR
- Customer bodily injuries
- Customer property damage
- Product liability insurance
Workers’ compensation insurance
Most states require workers' comp for music stores with employees. It also helps sole proprietors pay for medical bills from work-related injuries, which health insurance could deny.
BEST FOR
- Employee medical expenses
- Disability benefits
- Employee injury lawsuits
Cyber insurance
Cyber liability insurance helps music stores recover from data breaches and cyberattacks. It's strongly recommended for any business that handles credit card numbers or other sensitive information.
BEST FOR
- Customer notification expenses
- Credit monitoring services
- Data breach investigations
Commercial umbrella insurance
This type of coverage boosts the policy limits on a music store's general liability, commercial auto, and employer’s liability insurance.
BEST FOR
- Customer injury lawsuits
- Employee injury lawsuits
- Auto accident lawsuits
Commercial auto insurance
Commercial auto insurance covers the cost of accidents involving your musical instrument store's van or other vehicle. Each state has its own requirements for auto liability coverage.
BEST FOR
- Property damage caused by your vehicle
- Injuries from an auto accident
- Vehicle theft and vandalism
