Everything about this insurance experience was 10/10. Ashlin and the way she explains things and the easy to understand VIDEOS!!! I am so happy she explains things to you in normal person terms because otherwise I would still be in just as much of a panic as what I was before I got the insurance! I was already recommended this service from other people but I can truly say I am really impressed with the entire process at Ashlin Hadden and really appreciate having a great company on my side. I can finally sleep at night, thank you!!

Frequently Asked Questions
Learn How it Works!
What Determines the Cost of Cannabis Insurance?
The cost of cannabis insurance can vary significantly among different insurance carriers and is influenced by several factors, including the specific coverage options and coverage amounts chosen by the policyholder. Several key factors can impact the cost of cannabis insurance:
Complexity of Operations: The nature and complexity of your cannabis business play a pivotal role in determining insurance costs. For instance, a startup dispensary may initially require coverage such as business liability insurance, product liability insurance, and building insurance. In contrast, a larger cannabis enterprise may need a more extensive range of insurance policies, including laboratory insurance, crop insurance, and business auto insurance, among others.
Size of the Operation: The size and scale of your cannabis operation also contribute to insurance costs. Larger dispensaries typically face higher insurance costs for general liability coverage due to their expanded scope.
Claims History: Generally, when a claim is filed on an insurance policy, it can lead to an increase in insurance premiums. If your dispensary has a history of submitting insurance claims, it’s likely that you will be paying higher insurance rates.
Optional Coverage Selections: Many cannabis dispensaries operate as cash-only businesses, which makes them susceptible to certain risks, such as theft or crime-related incidents. As a result, dispensaries often choose to add crime-related insurance coverage to their policies, which can increase the overall cost of insurance premiums.
These factors collectively contribute to the final cost of cannabis insurance, and it’s important for cannabis businesses to carefully evaluate their insurance needs and select coverage options that align with their specific requirements and risk profiles.
What coverage does commercial property insurance offer for cannabis businesses?
A commercial property insurance policy provides essential financial protection against a broad spectrum of property-related losses and damages.
Burglary and Theft: Among the most common challenges faced by small business owners, burglary and theft are particularly significant for cannabis businesses due to the high value of their inventory. Property insurance steps in to cover the expenses associated with stolen items and any damage resulting from a break-in.
Storm Damage: Commercial property insurance extends coverage to safeguard against storm-related damages. This includes potential costs such as repairing a hail-damaged roof or replacing a window shattered by a tree limb during a hurricane. It’s important to note that most policies do not include protection for flooding or earthquakes, but these can often be purchased separately.
Fires: Fires rank among the costliest claims, and for cannabis business owners, the loss of inventory like marijuana and CBD products can be financially devastating. Commercial property insurance plays a critical role in covering the replacement expenses for items damaged or destroyed by a fire, including damage to the building itself.
Vandalism: Vandalism can result in substantial repair costs, whether it’s graffiti on the exterior or a broken window. Commercial property insurance can provide coverage for damages caused by acts of vandalism.
Temporary Closure: When a fire or other property-related incident occurs, the aftermath can be financially crippling, especially during the closure for renovations. It’s essential to ensure that your insurance policy includes business interruption insurance, also known as business income insurance. This coverage helps offset the financial losses incurred during temporary closures resulting from events like fires or burst pipes, allowing your business to recover without suffering undue financial strain.
In summary, commercial property insurance is a crucial asset for cannabis businesses, offering protection against a wide range of property-related risks and ensuring financial stability in the face of unforeseen events. With this coverage in place, cannabis business owners can focus on the growth and success of their enterprises, knowing that they have a safety net to rely on when property losses and damages occur.

WHAT CANNABIS INSURANCE IS REQUIRED FOR MY STATE?
State insurance laws vary across all lines of business. When it comes to cannabis business insurance, there are very strict guidelines and penalties. Therefore, state requirements need even more observation to make sure that your cannabis company has the minimal required insurance in case of a claim or audit. That is where Elevate by Ashlin Hadden Insurance comes in. Our team of professionals can discuss with you what you need for the state(s) that your store(s) and other business entities are located in.
Whether you are a cannabis wholesaler in California growing product, a CBD topical lotion manufacturer, or some other cannabis business, Elevate can assist you with your insurance needs for wherever your head office and store branches reside. We are happy to discuss your state insurance requirements with you. Give us a call at 765-432-8989 or email us at sales@ashlinhaddeninsurance.com.
Also, it is good to keep in mind that just because your state requires only certain types of insurance, those requirements alone might not be enough coverage for the type of business you have. If you have a claim that needs more protection than the state minimum, you might find yourself paying out-of-pocket for certain claim types that are common for your line of business and the location you are in. We can help you determine what coverage you must have, as well as what additional coverage would create a nice safety net for the company that you have worked so hard to grow and keep in business.
Can I cover my crop?
Yes, we have insurance programs that will cover your crop for specific named peril coverages. You can insure your crops up to a total limit of $5,000,000 at any one location.
WHY DO I NEED INSURANCE FOR MY CANNABIS, CBD, AND ALTERNATIVE MEDICINES?
You will need to obtain policies that will cover you for a financial loss due to a property loss or due to a liability loss on your premise and for a products loss due to the consumption of a product you have provided to the public. In short, proper coverage will keep you in business and protect your people, property and investment.
