What You Need to Know About Cannabis Insurance Companies

Even though the cannabis market provides a great deal of opportunity for the insurance market, carriers are still wary due to the substance’s classification as a controlled substance on the federal level, according to Insurance Journal.

As a result, Insurance Journal also indicates that existing coverage is currently limited. They explain that insurers are just entering the market with basic policies that include commercial general liability, property liability and product liability. The limits are around the $1 million to $ 2 million rage, however they can be higher and cover more than just general liability, property liability, and product liability.

Nonetheless, Benzinga identifies insurance companies that are available in a number of states. For example, the main companies that it identifies include:

• Cannasure
• Cannabis Insurance Company
• AFIG Cannabis Insurance
• 420 Insurance
• SafeHerb
• MFE Insurance Brokerage
• Admiral Insurance Cannabis Insurance
• Cover Cannabis

Some of these companies provide companies in all 50 states, such as SafeHerb, Admiral Insurance Cannabis Insurance, Cover Cannabis, and 420 Insurance.

Benzinga identifies several types of policies, such as cultivation insurance, dispensary insurance, manufacturing insurance, building insurance, delivery and transport insurance, laboratory insurance, product liability, and Hemp-CBD Insurance.

Further, the cost of insurance varies not only on the type of policy, but upon other factors.

Usually, larger and more complex businesses with higher liability risks will require costlier policies.
