Coverage Breakdown

What are the Key Risks
It Covers?

Florist Insurance addresses a range of risks specific to your business. Here are the main ones:

Spoiled Inventory

Flowers are perishable and events (e.g., power outages, refrigeration failures or extreme weather) can ruin stock. Insurance can help cover such losses.

Customer Injuries

A customer slipping on a wet floor or tripping over a display could lead to medical bills or lawsuits. Insurance can cover these claims.

Delivery Accidents

If your delivery van is involved in a crash, a Commercial Motor Insurance tied to your Florist Insurance can cover vehicle repairs, medical expenses or damaged goods.

Employee Injuries

Cuts from stems or strains from lifting heavy arrangements are common. Insurance can cover medical costs and lost wages.

Property Damage

Fires, storms or vandalism can damage your shop, inventory or equipment. Having the right insurance can help cover repair or replacement costs.

Data Breaches

If you sell online, a cyberattack could expose customer data. Cyber Insurance can cover notification costs and system restoration, critical for e-commerce florists.

Business Interruptions

If a fire or storm forces your shop to close temporarily, insurance can cover lost income and ongoing expenses.

Who Is This For?

Who Should Consider
Florist Insurance?

Florist Insurance is crucial for anyone running a floral business, whether you’re just starting or have an established shop.

Small Boutique Florists

If you operate a local shop, you face risks like customer injuries, spoiled stock or property damage.

Home-Based Florists

Running your business from home doesn’t exempt you from risks. Your standard Home Insurance typically excludes business activities, so you need dedicated Florist Insurance.

Event Florists

If you specialise in weddings or events, you may transport arrangements or set up on-site, increasing risks such as delivery accidents or third-party property damage.

Online Florists

If you take orders online, adding Cyber Insurance can protect you against data breaches, while Product Liability can cover issues like allergic reactions from mislabelled bouquets.

Florists with Employees

If you have staff, Workers’ Compensation Coverage is usually required in Australia to cover workplace injuries.

Mobile or Market Stall Florists

Operating at markets or pop-up events exposes you to risks, say, theft, weather-related damage or customer accidents.
