What Bookstore coverage includes
Bookstores are usually low hazard, and carriers look at inventory values, any cafe on site and author events that bring in crowds.
- General liability - Customer injuries in the store and at events.
- Inventory - Books and stock against fire, smoke and water.
- Business income - Lost income while closed after a covered loss.
- Rare books - Collectible and rare stock valued separately.
- Cafe operations - Food and drink served in the store.
Good to know: a Business Owners Policy (BOP) usually fits, and rare or collectible books often need a separate scheduled limit.
Not covered: water damage from long-term leaks and rare books above the standard inventory valuation unless scheduled.
