Markel Specialty insurance–keeping your personal care business well groomed.
When you own a beauty salon or barber shop, you have more on your mind than what your client will think when they look in the mirror—employees, bills, cash flow, inventories, and much more.
Having your business fully insured for property and liability claims may not be top of mind for you but for a beauty salon or barber shop owner like yourself, Markel Specialty’s customizable insurance coverages can offer you the kind of insurance protection you may need.
Our workers compensation policy can help you protect your business from the costs of an on the job accident including lost wages and benefits, medical care, and legal representation. Our businessowners policy, EssentialBOP, is customizable for your customer service-based business—covering commercial general liability, commercial property, and other areas essential to helping you protect your assets. When combined, these policies offer insurance coverage for your salon or barber shop—and up to a 10% multi-policy discount for you.* Also, by adding Markel Specialty’s commercial umbrella liability insurance policy in addition to EssentialBOP policy can provide qualified customers additional insurance protection for the costs of catastrophic claims and lawsuits.
