What Can Bakery Insurance Cover?

1. Public Liability Insurance

May cover legal fees and compensation if a customer or member of the public suffers injury or property damage on your premises. For example, a customer slipping on a wet floor or being burned by a hot display counter.

2. Employers’ Liability Insurance

Often a legal requirement for most businesses with staff. This cover can help protect against claims resulting from employee illness or injury sustained during work activities.

3. Product Liability Insurance

Can provide cover if a baked product causes harm due to contamination, allergens, or incorrect labelling. Essential for businesses selling directly to the public or through third-party retailers.

4. Business Interruption Insurance

If your bakery cannot operate due to an insured event such as a fire, flood, or major equipment breakdown, this cover may help with loss of income and ongoing fixed costs.

5. Stock and Equipment Cover

Protects essential bakery items such as mixers, ovens, chillers, and raw ingredients against theft, damage, or spoilage.

6. Shop Contents and Fixtures Insurance

Cover for furnishings, counters, shelving, and fittings against damage or loss, supporting the repair and recovery of your shop setup.

7. Goods in Transit Insurance

If your bakery offers deliveries or transports goods to local markets or stockists, this cover may protect baked goods in transit.
