Protection for the costs of damages to other people's property and injuries to non-employees

Legal defense costs after a covered claim
Damage to someone else's property
Medical expenses if someone is injured at your bike shop
Workers’ Compensation insurance

Workers’ Compensation insurance

Often required to help protect employees from the costs of work-related illnesses or injuries

Workers' compensation insurance can help pay for medical expenses and lost wages if an employee suffers a work-related injury or illness. And this type of business insurance coverage is required in most states if you have employees. This can be especially important for bike shops, where employees may lift heavy bicycles, use tools to perform repairs or lift large displays and inventory.

And it can help protect the contents of your bike shop, including bicycles, wheels and other bike parts, cycling accessories, repair equipment, display fixtures, computers and POS systems, and other business property. It may also help replace lost income if you have to temporarily close your store for repairs after an event like a fire, burglary or storm damage.

  • The products and services you offer, such as bicycle sales, repairs or bike rentals.
  • Your business location.
  • Your number of employees.

How can bike shop insurance help your business?

Cycling shop insurance can help your business to:

  • Rent a commercial space. Landlords often require business insurance before you can rent or renew a lease for a commercial building for your store.
  • Get financing to launch your business. Banks and other financial lenders often require business insurance before you can get a business loan.
  • Hire employees. Most states require workers’ comp insurance for small businesses with employees.
  • Protect your shop, inventory and equipment. Property insurance can help cover your bicycles, repair equipment, bike accessories, computers and POS systems and other business gear if it’s damaged by a covered event like a fire, theft, vandalism or certain types of water damage.
  • Deal with product liability issues. If a gear, wheel, braking system, seatpost or other product you make or sell is alleged to have caused an injury or property damage, your coverage may help you.
  • Handle liability claims. General liability insurance could help cover costs if a customer is injured at your store or if your business accidentally damages someone else’s property.
