Why do you need secondhand store insurance?

Thieves stealing high-value vintage goods, a damaging fire, or a customer filing a lawsuit could put your secondhand store business at risk. B2Z can help! We offer coverage that provides the financial support to repair or replace your equipment, and may reduce your costs for liability and other property claims depending on the coverage you choose.

What thrift store insurance coverage do you need?

There are a variety of coverage options available for thrift shops and secondhand store businesses. We recommend these insurance options:

Business Owner's Policy (BOP)

A business owner's policy is a critical type of insurance for secondhand stores and thrift shops. This insurance conveniently combines general liability and property damage coverage into one policy—it’s the best option for comprehensive coverage of your resale shop. A BOP generally extends to cover property damage, loss from catastrophic events, and liability incidents like:

  1. A devastating store fire
    fire
  2. Theft of collected antiques
    robbery
Workers’ Compensation Insurance

Thrift stores depend on employee help. Most states require businesses with employees to have workers’ comp insurance (WC). Consider the cost of employee injuries in resale stores. Workers' comp coverage helps with impending medical bills, lost wages, and legal fees related to lawsuits filed by employees against your resale shop business. WC can help if:

  1. A box of books falls on an employee's foot
    medical
  2. An employee trips on stacked donations
