Business owner’s policy costs for food vendors

Food vendors typically pay $60 per month for a business owner’s policy, or a median annual premium of $725. The median value eliminates high and low outliers, providing better representation of typical food vendor insurance costs than the average value.

A business owner’s policy bundles general liability insurance with property insurance, usually at a discounted rate. Pricing is determined by your company’s location, operations, and value of business property. Food vendors that have high-value equipment typically pay more for a BOP. This policy may also include business interruption insurance.

Median cost per year: $725
Policy limit: $1 million per occurrence
Policy deductible: $500

Workers’ compensation insurance is required in almost every state for food vendors with employees. This coverage helps pay medical fees and lost wages for employees who are injured on the job. Most policies include employer’s liability insurance, which protects concessionaires against lawsuits related to workplace injuries.
