What is Bakery Insurance?

Bakeries are a complex operation with several different aspects to the business. This means that the risk areas for bakeries are also complex.

The key risks for a bakery will typically include your actual operations (machinery, stock, employees), the products you sell, your shopfront (contents, customers, money), and the risks attached to running a business (business interruption, management risk).

The insurances for a bakery can be simplified into one “Business Package”, but do you know what coverages you have and/or need? We have broken down each key coverage area below.

What Coverages Does A Bakery Need?

The insurance packages for bakeries can be tailored to include several important coverage sections.

Each bakery is different, and your insurance package should be tailored to your risks and business requirements. To find out what your specific risks are and what insurance coverage you should consider, get in touch with our bakery insurance specialists.

Property & Stock

Damage to your equipment, fit-out, stock, and raw materials from physical losses, such as fire and water damage.

Burglary, Theft & Money

Theft of your property, equipment, stock, and money.

Business Interruption

Cover for your lost profit and fixed expenses to keep your business afloat following a loss. This should include additional costs to keep operating while recovering from a loss, such as leasing out temporary locations or equipment.

Costs to repair or replace broken down equipment. This can include cover for spoiled food and business interruption caused by your equipment breaking down.

Public Liability

Injuries at your premises, like slip & fall of customers.

Products Risk

Illness/injury from your products, like food poisoning or broken teeth. For larger operations, costs to recall products should be considered.

Glass Cover

Costs to repair/replace broken glass at your premises.

What other policies should a bakery consider?

Workers Compensation (State Dependent)

Injury to your workers.

Covers “management risks” like claims of wrongful dismissal, harassment, and health & safety fines.

Cover for cyber-attacks including emergency response, business interruption, and costs to fix systems.
