Frequently asked questions about bakery business insurance

Here are some of the most common questions we get about bakery business insurance. If you don’t find the answers you need here, our licensed, U.S.-based insurance advisors are standing by to help via online chat or phone.

How does business insurance protect bakeries?

Our bakery insurance packages are designed to protect your home-based bakery business or bakery shop from a variety of risks and help you save money to grow your business. You’ll be protected from financial losses related to:

Damage to someone’s property

You break a glass door while delivering a wedding cake to a venue. The general liability coverage in your insurance package would help pay for a replacement.

Accidents that hurt someone

A customer falls down your front steps when arriving to pick up a pie. Your general liability insurance coverage would also come into play here by helping to pay for medical costs and legal fees.

Workplace injuries

Your employee burns their arm while pulling a cookie sheet out of the oven. Workers’ compensation insurance with business owner’s coverage can help cover medical bills and lost wages. Workers’ comp coverage is usually required by law if you have employees.

Injuries and damage involving your business vehicles

A tree falls during a storm and shatters your car roof. Commercial auto coverage will help pay for the repairs. This coverage is also usually required by law for business-owned vehicles.

Damage to your own property

A water pipe bursts and causes significant water damage to your kitchen and baking equipment. Commercial property insurance can help with replacement or repair costs if your owned or leased property is damaged.
