Soap Maker Insurance

Soap maker insurance combines several insurance policies to provide comprehensive coverage. Typically, you can expect soap maker insurance to include the following coverages:

• Commercial General Liability Insurance (CGL): CGL covers your business against general risks that you may encounter, such as third-party bodily injury or property damage. For example, say you’re selling soap at a local craft fair, and a beam from your tent falls and hits a customer on the head. Should the customer file a claim against you, CGL could cover the medical fees and legal expenses, regardless of the lawsuit’s outcome.

• Product Liability Insurance: Product liability coverage is extremely important for soap makers. This policy can provide financial protection should a customer allege that a product you sold, distributed, or manufactured caused bodily injury or property damage. Damages ordinarily covered by product liability are usually the result of a design, manufacturing, or marketing defect. For example, Product Liability Insurance could provide financial protection if a customer claims your soap stained their expensive bathroom counter, and the soap didn’t come with warning labels to warn against leaving it directly on a surface.

• Commercial Property Insurance: Whether you have a workshop for soap making or you create soaps in your kitchen, commercial property insurance protects your business property from an insured event such as a fire or theft. Suppose your home business is broken into while on vacation, and a significant amount of your inventory was stolen. Commercial property insurance would cover the cost to replace the stolen products.

• Cyber Liability Insurance: If you sell your soaps online, cyber liability could cover the costs associated with cybercrime involving your technology systems and customer data. For example, say your e-commerce site experiences a data breach, and the hacker holds your customers’ data as ransom. In this case, cyber liability insurance may provide coverage for legal fees and damage-related costs associated with the incident
