Tools & Supplies Coverage

Do you rely on professional tools and supplies to run your business? Get coverage for your movable essentials so you’re always ready to help clients look and feel their best.

What Is Inland Marine Insurance?

Inland marine insurance is coverage for your movable business property in case it gets stolen or damaged. At Beauty & Bodywork Insurance (BBI), we call it Tools & Supplies Coverage because that’s what it is!

This coverage pays to repair or replace your tools and supplies so you don’t have to pay out of pocket to get up and running again.

What Does Tools and Equipment Insurance Cover?

Tools & Supplies Coverage covers anything you use for business that is not permanently installed in your workspace. This includes:

  • Tools
  • Supplies
  • Inventory
  • Raw materials
  • Business tech
  • Booth displays
  • Mobile gear

 

For example, a massage therapist would have coverage for their portable massage table, oils, lotions, linens, diffuser, sound system, business tablet, and mobile signage.

These items would be covered for:

  • Theft
  • Damage
  • Loss due to unforeseen events

What Does Inland Marine Insurance NOT Cover?

This coverage is a safety net for your business gear, but it doesn’t cover everything. It won’t cover:

  • Stationary property
  • The space you work out of
  • Harm caused by your tools
  • Normal wear and tear
  • Your vehicle

Who Needs Tools & Supplies Coverage?

Any beauty or bodywork professional who invests in tools and equipment for their business needs this coverage!

Easily add it to your base insurance policy for massage therapy, esthetics, cosmetology, nail services, salons, or spas.

See if this coverage is right for you.
