Quick facts

• Class: Retail Bakeries
• Coterie Top 100 rank: #87 (December 2025)
• Coverage options: General liability and business owner’s policy

Risk snapshot

Owners in this class commonly deal with oven burns, allergen reactions and flour-dusted slips. Guests, delivery drivers and vendors are in and out all day, and food safety complaints can turn into claims.

How GL and a BOP work together

General liability covers third-party bodily injury, property damage and, for most classes, personal and advertising injury. Per-occurrence limits are $300K, $500K, $1M or $2M, with aggregates at twice that, and the policy includes medical payments and damage to rented premises. A BOP covers kitchen equipment and stock, and the restaurant endorsement (spoilage and food contamination) was extended to more food-service classes in August 2025. Many owners pick the BOP because property and business income come bundled with the liability protection.

Appetite and eligibility

Bakeries are in Coterie’s food appetite. Liquor-heavy operations are excluded. Across all classes, Coterie generally accepts up to $10M in revenue and 50 employees, one location per policy, no more than two losses in five years (none over $15K) and no prior cancellations or non-renewals. Startups and home-based businesses can qualify too.
