General Liability
Bought by 95% of business owners like you
General liability insurance is included in most business insurance packages, including hardware store businesses, because it covers the risks that many business owners face every day. It's not typically required by law, but some clients and agencies could ask you to have a certificate of insurance before they work with you.
General Liability can help you pay for:
Medical payments
Property damage
Legal fees and judgments
Commercial Auto
For business owners that use vehicles
Commercial auto insurance helps hardware stores cover injuries and damages resulting from work-related car accidents. Most states require commercial auto insurance for business-owned vehicles in order to help pay for medical expenses and property damage.
Commercial Auto can help you pay for:
Medical expenses
Collision repairs
Rental reimbursement
Workers' Compensation
For business owners who hire employees
Workers’ compensation insurance protects employees and hardware store business owners from financial losses after a workplace injury or illness. It can help with reimbursing medical bills, rehabilitation costs, lost wages and other expenses.
Workers' Compensation can help you pay for:
Medical expenses
Lost Wages
Employer liability
Commercial Property
For business owners who own or rent physical spaces
Commercial property insurance is one of the most common types of small business insurance hardware store owners buy because of the different types of coverage it offers. It helps with replacement or repair costs if property is stolen or damaged due to a covered event, such as a burst water pipe, fire or vandalism.
