Kitchens can be dangerous environments.  Large numbers of clients can pose increased risks. The spoilage of food can threaten your business.

Business Owners Policy

A BOP cuts costs of your insurance rates and is a fairly common strategy for restaurants to protect their assets as well as making it easy to purchase additional coverages for your small business.

Additional coverage can include general and product liability, liquor liability insurance, excess liability insurance and employment practices liability insurance.

I was a referral to Sanford insurance and I can truly say it's been one of the best call I have ever made. From the time I accepted my proposal and policy it has made me feel like I belong with them, staff very experienced and willing to work for you not for themselves.

I have had great customer service with Sanford Insurance. They are quick to respond to me. They work to find me cheaper insurance when mine goes up. I have been working with them for about 5 years now and I refer them to many people. Why do the work trying to find better insurance when they can do it for you.
