Specialty Markets Insurance FAQs
What is specialty market insurance?
Specialty market insurance is business insurance designed for companies that have unique risks, more complex operations, or industry-specific coverage needs. Contractors, manufacturers, restaurants, wholesalers, retailers, garage and repair shops, hotels, and motels may all need coverage that goes beyond a basic business insurance policy.
What types of businesses need specialty business insurance?
Many businesses may need specialty business insurance, including contractors, manufacturers, retailers, wholesalers, restaurants, auto repair shops, garages, hotels, and motels. These businesses often have different liability, property, equipment, employee, customer, and operational risks, so coverage should be reviewed based on the way the business actually operates.
Is specialty market insurance the same as general business insurance?
Not exactly. General business insurance may include common coverages such as general liability, commercial property, business auto, or workers’ compensation. Specialty market insurance is more customized. It looks at your specific industry, your daily operations, your risk exposure, and any coverage gaps that a standard policy may not fully address.
What does specialty market insurance cover?
Coverage depends on your business, but a specialty market insurance package may include general liability, commercial property, business interruption, equipment coverage, commercial auto, workers’ compensation, product liability, garage liability, liquor liability, cyber liability, or umbrella liability.

Why do contractors need specialty insurance coverage?
Contractors often work on job sites, use tools and equipment, drive business vehicles, and perform work that can affect a customer’s property. Contractor insurance may help protect against claims involving bodily injury, property damage, completed operations, tools and equipment, business vehicles, and employee injuries.
What insurance should a restaurant have?
Restaurants may need several types of commercial insurance, including general liability, commercial property, workers’ compensation, business interruption, equipment breakdown, food spoilage, liquor liability if alcohol is served, and employment practices liability. Because every restaurant operates differently, coverage should be tailored to the size, location, services, and risks of the business.
Do manufacturers and wholesalers need product liability insurance?

Product liability coverage can be especially important for companies that make, distribute, import, or sell physical products.

Garage and auto repair shops may need coverage for customer vehicles, business property, tools, equipment, employee injuries, business auto, and liability claims.

What affects the cost of specialty market insurance?
The cost of specialty market insurance depends on several factors, including your type of business, location, payroll, sales, number of employees, property value, vehicles, claims history, coverage limits, deductibles, and the number of policy types needed. A personalized quote is the best way to understand your actual premium.
How do I know if my business has the right coverage?
