What types of insurance does a florist business need?

Florists manage perishable products, delicate arrangements, and high customer traffic. The core coverages include: 

  • General Liability – Protects against customer injuries, such as slips in your shop, or accidental damage during deliveries. 
  • Workers’ Compensation – Required in most states if you have employees; covers injuries such as cuts from tools or strains from lifting heavy arrangements. 
  • Business Owner’s Policy (BOP) – Combines liability and property protection, often with income coverage if your shop must close due to a covered loss.
