Coverage to discuss

Your property. Your work. Your responsibilities.

Review these coverage areas with an agent. The right combination starts with your actual operations.

Customer liability

Review general liability for covered injury or property-damage claims. Alcohol service and other specialized activities may need separate coverage or endorsements.

Property & business interruption

Discuss stock, equipment, furnishings and tenant improvements. Ask how income protection, equipment breakdown and spoilage apply under the proposed policy.

Employees, vehicles & lease proof

Employees, business deliveries and food-truck operations need their own review. Send the lease insurance section before requesting a certificate or additional-insured wording.

Built around the business you run

Restaurants

Retail shops

Food trucks

New locations

Coverage, limits, exclusions, price and availability depend on the policy, carrier and underwriting. Start with the basics; an agent can request additional details.

Texas business coverage

Start with how you operate

A dine-in restaurant, food truck and retail shop have different exposures. Describe cooking, delivery, alcohol sales, customer visits, inventory and seasonal changes. Tell the agent about a new location or an upcoming opening date.

What to have ready

An agent may ask for sales, payroll, location details, cooking equipment, inventory values, delivery activities and the lease insurance requirement. Start with a short request; supporting documents can follow.

Common questions

Will a BOP cover everything my business needs?

A BOP can combine property and general liability for eligible businesses. Auto, workers compensation and specialized exposures need separate review.

Can I request a certificate before buying coverage?

Start with the quote and contract requirements. A certificate documents an existing policy; it does not create coverage.
