Small retailers, shops, and service businesses need big insurance coverage.
When you own a small, customer-oriented business or shop, you have all sorts of things on your mind–employees, bills, cash flow, inventories, and much more.Having your business fully insured for property and liability claims may not be top of mind for you. After all, you get an insurance bill once a year and, if you have no claims, you can forget all about it for another 12 months. But for a hands-on retail shop or service owner like yourself, Markel Specialty’s insurance coverage offers you the kind of protection you need.
Our workers compensation policy can help protect your business from the costs of an on the job accident including lost wages and benefits, medical care, and legal representation. Our businessowners policy, EssentialBOP, is customizable for your customer service-based business–covering commercial general liability, commercial property, and other areas essential to helping you protect your assets. Plus, if you combine our workers compensation and businessowners policies you will earn up to a 10% multi-policy discount.* Also, by adding Markel Specialty’s commercial umbrella liability insurance policy over eligible EssentialBOP policies can provide qualified customers additional insurance protection for the costs of covered claims and lawsuits.

- Copy stores
- Engravers
