Hospitality Insurance Explained
Whether you’re offering an upscale dining experience with reservations months in advance or a bed and breakfast hosting guests and showcasing the beauty of your community, every hospitality business faces risks specific to the industry. To be in the hospitality industry, you inherently must be willing to take risks. With the right insurance policy in place, we can ensure your risks are worth taking while covering those that could harm your business.
From serving food and drinks to hosting guests and ensuring the safety and experience of their stay, the unexpected can happen. Things like equipment breakdown, fire damage, food spoilage, and liability can all have a major impact on your business. These specific risks are unique to the industry, and our experts can help.
At Westland, we have a comprehensive hospitality package that has everything to keep your business covered, including:
- Business Liability
Liability is the financial responsibility of your business resulting from damage that’s caused to property or bodily injury of a third party. Whether your company has four employees or 400, every business runs the risk of causing damage or injury to others. Think of it as your business’s first line of defense.
