Industry-specific business insurance

Some industries need coverage that general policies do not include. Here are common examples.

By the InsuranU team Updated July 20263 min read

Certain industries carry risks specific enough that standard policies do not fully address them.

Examples by industry

Contractors: builder's risk and tools coverage
Restaurants: food spoilage and liquor liability
Retail: product liability
Healthcare and wellness: malpractice or professional liability tailored to the field

How to find the right fit

Ask insurers or brokers specifically about endorsements or specialty policies built for your industry, rather than assuming a generic BOP covers everything.
