What Insurance Does a Clothing Store Need?

Many clothing store owners start with a Business Owner’s Policy (BOP). It bundles three essential types of coverage:

General liability insurance to help protect your business from claims that it caused bodily injury or property damage to others.
Commercial property insurance, which helps protect the owned or rented building, tools, equipment, inventory and clothes stored that you use to operate your clothing store.
Business income insurance, also known as business interruption insurance, to help replace your lost income if you can’t operate because of covered property loss.
