The owner and/or manager of a property used in the cannabis industry faces a variety of risks that can easily be mitigated with the proper insurance coverage.
Owners and managers of properties used by cannabis businesses need the same insurance as for any property, including general liability and property coverage. Due to the nature of the cannabis industry, including the every-changing regulations and uncertainty due to federal laws, there are other exposures to be considered. We also recommend coverage fro loss of Income and if the property is owned by investors, director and officer coverage.
Here are the most common coverages for property owners and managers:
General Liability
Property Insurance
Loss of Income
Errors & Omissions Insurance
Director and Officer
