Dessert and ice cream shop insurance usually combines general liability, property and equipment, spoilage, equipment breakdown, and workers compensation, since frozen and refrigerated inventory and the equipment that holds it are the core exposure.

Freezers and spoilage

Frozen inventory is money sitting in your freezers, and a breakdown or power outage can wipe it out fast. Spoilage and equipment breakdown coverage protect the perishable stock and the equipment that keeps it cold, the single most important check for this segment.

Premises and staff

Customer traffic, hot equipment in some concepts, and a small staff create the usual premises and workers compensation exposure. General liability and workers comp cover the everyday side of the shop.

Lease and seasonality

Most dessert shops are tenants with lease certificate requirements, and many are seasonal, which can affect coverage and business income. We line the program up with the lease and the season.
