Retail Store Insurance FAQs
I don’t own a building, so I don’t need commercial property insurance. Can I still get general liability insurance?
If you don’t want commercial property insurance, you can opt out of a BOP and still get all the benefits of general liability insurance. However, you are no longer covered by a BOP.
Does Retail Store Insurance cover theft?
Theft is just one of those things that retail stores need to be concerned with. Fortunately, Retail Store Insurance covers you for theft; furthermore, with business interruption insurance, you can keep running payroll while you get back to business.
How do I show proof of insurance if I purchase Retail Store Insurance?
Showing proof of insurance is just a few clicks away with Thimble. We allow you to generate as many Certificates of Insurance (COI) as necessary to satisfy landlord and client requirements.
Does BOP protect my equipment and gear that travels with me to jobs?
Thimble will protect up to $10,000 worth of your gear that is away from your premises, meaning you’re covered while transporting retail goods or selling your products at a booth. If you need more coverage or have stuff with you that belongs to other parties, you may want to consider Business Equipment Protection.
A designer wants to hold a product launch event at my store. Will Retail Store Insurance cover me?
Some events may be covered as long as you are the organizer. But if you allow someone else to organize an event at your retail location, you should require them to get event liability insurance and name you as an Additional Insured.
Does Retail Store Insurance cover injury to my employees?
Employees are not covered by your general liability insurance policy or your commercial property insurance. In order to cover employees who get injured or sick at work, you’ll need to get a workers’ compensation insurance policy.
What are Thimble’s Retail Store Insurance coverage policy limits?
Retail Store Insurance coverage limits start at $300,000 for general liability insurance, $250,000 for building coverage, and $50,000 for business contents insurance. You can increase these limits if desired.

I was very impressed with your monthly rate on general liability coverage! Much less than 1/12 of everyone else's annual rate.
