Insurance by business type

Cannabis cultivator and grower insurance

Best for Agents and brokers preparing this type of account

Cannabis cultivation accounts are shaped by the growing method, buildings, utilities, environmental controls, plant and stock values, security, employees, and interruption exposure. The submission should show how these systems work together at each licensed location.

Coverage and availability depend on the account, state, insurer and underwriting review. General information and nonbinding indications do not bind insurance; the applicable binder, policy, endorsements and law govern coverage.

Important insurance information

This guide is general information and does not determine coverage or legal requirements for your business. Policy terms, exclusions, conditions and available options vary. Contact the appropriate licensed insurance representative about your account, request confirmation of any coverage placed, and review the applicable insurance documents. An application, inquiry or nonbinding indication does not by itself bind or change insurance.

Cultivation questions to resolve
