What is Sporting Goods Store Insurance?

Stores that sell sporting goods are exposed to the risks that are common to the retail industry, but these stores also face risks that are specific to sporting goods products. Sporting goods store insurance can help protect Vermont retailers in this space from many of the common and specific risks that they face.

Sporting goods store insurance is specialized commercial insurance for retailers that sell sporting goods products. In order to protect against both general and specific risks, these policies normally come as package policies that combine several coverages together.

What Vermont Businesses Are Sporting Goods Store Policies Right For?

Most retailers in Vermont that sell sporting goods can benefit from the protections that sporting goods store policies provide. This generally includes both general sporting goods retailers and specialty retailers, such as those that sell hunting, skiing, golfing, biking or fishing equipment.

Most retailers that sell firearms should specifically look for a policy that’s designed to protect the increased risks that firearms present. An insurance agent who specializes in sporting goods stores policies can help firearms retailers find a gun store insurance policy that provides the protection they need.

What Coverages Are Available Through Sporting Goods Store Policies?

Sporting goods store policies may provide a variety of coverages within their bundled protections. Some of the more commonly offered coverages are:

Retailers with extensive and/or valuable products may want an endorsement that increases the limits on their inventory-related property coverage. An endorsement provides more narrowly defined protection, and some policies offer endorsements for inventory. An experienced insurance agent can help with setting up an endorsement if one is needed.

How Can Firearms Retailers Protect Against Their Greater Liability Risks?

Selling firearms of any type significantly increases liability risk exposure, for lawsuits could be filed if a sold firearm causes an accident. Even if a lawsuit is ultimately dismissed or defended, the mere legal costs of defending against such a suit can be expensive.

Gun store insurance policies are normally designed to protect against the increased liability risks that firearms retailers face. These policies tend to come with higher liability limits, and they sometimes have additional liability protections available.

Putting strict safety protocols in place is another way that firearms retailers can mitigate some of their liability exposure. Following all official protocols is important, however, as violating a protocol might jeopardize coverage in the event of a liability lawsuit.

How Much Are Premiums for Sporting Goods Store Policies Cost?

Premiums for sporting goods store and gun store insurance policies vary. A retailer’s location, footprint, product mix, annual revenues and past claims history are merely a few of the factors that can influence rates.

Generally speaking, though, these policies tend to be affordable considering the protections that they afford. The premiums for a policy almost certainly are less than what a liability suit could be.

An independent insurance agent, who’s able to request quotes from multiple insurance companies, can help retailers find the most affordable policy option that meets their needs.
