BrokerLink can help design florist insurance policies that keep your flowers and business safe from unexpected thorns.
Florist businesses face a unique bouquet of risks:
Throughout Canada, venues often require proof of flower shop insurance before vendors are allowed on-site, and some clients will expect floral professionals to have liability insurance coverage for weddings and other events. Beyond this, if you lease your commercial space, property management typically mandates that all tenants have proper insurance in place.
Ultimately, having flower shop insurance will protect your business reputation, finances, customers, and inventory, giving you peace of mind to focus on what you do best: creating beautiful bouquets and floral arrangements.
From solo florists to business owners, florist insurance in Canada can be categorized into mandatory and optional coverages:
Commercial general liability insurance
Commercial property insurance
Business interruption insurance
Product liability insurance
Equipment breakdown insurance
Commercial auto insurance
Cyber liability insurance
Professional liability insurance
Stockpile spoilage insurance
Commercial general liability insurance protects you against claims of bodily injury or property damage, whether at your retail space or out at an event. For example, if a flower wall falls over and damages a rental venue, the owner of said venue can file a third-party claim against you.
Should a lawsuit be filed for injuries or third-party property damage, this policy will cover the repair and replacement costs, medical expenses, legal fees, and other associated settlement funds, up to your policy limits.
Commercial property policies provide coverage to your physical florist shop and items within your storefront from various perils like theft, vandalism, water damage, extreme weather damage, smoke, and fire damage. Should an insured event occur and cause damage to your florist shop, this business insurance will cover repair costs and replacement costs that may arise.
If your business property is damaged by a burst pipe that floods your entire interior and you are forced to shut down your daily operations, business interruption insurance will kick in and provide compensation for lost business income, utility bills, rent, employee wages, and other expenses.
Product liability coverage protects you against claims of bodily injury or property damage that arise from your flower products. For example, if a client orders a bouquet of flowers and they suffer a severe allergic reaction, you could be held responsible. Should the customer sue, this policy will cover medical expenses, legal fees, and other incurred costs.
Equipment breakdown coverage will cover repairs or replacements required for damaged equipment, such as coolers, POS systems, and refrigeration units that keep flowers fresh.
Commercial auto insurance protects your flower shop's delivery van, you, and any employees on the road. For example, if an employee gets into a car accident in your delivery van while fulfilling an order, this policy will kick in to cover repairs and other expenses.
Cyber liability insurance is essential if your flower shop takes online orders, collects customer data, and uses a POS system for payments. This coverage protects you against risks like data breaches, online fraud, and data leaks that may occur.
If you advise clients about floral arrangements for their event or wedding, you may want to consider professional liability insurance to protect your business. Customers may claim your advice caused them harm or financial losses, giving them grounds to sue you, even if the claims are false. To protect your finances, this florist business insurance is a non-negotiable.
This flower shop insurance will cover you if your flowers are damaged due to a failure of one of your specialized equipment, from extreme temperatures, or power outages.

There are several factors insurance companies will use to determine how much your flower shop insurance costs will be, including:
If your flower shop is in a busy city like Vancouver, Toronto, or Edmonton, or a community with high crime rates, your insurance premiums may be higher due to increased risk of theft, vandalism, and property damage.
A larger florist with higher annual revenue will likely pay more for their premiums, as the potential payout for claims will be more expensive.
Florists that carry expensive stock, including exotic flowers, decorative arrangements, and event-specific items, will pay more for coverage than florists with less inventory value. Ultimately, you'll need higher property insurance to ensure losses are fully compensated, which will cost more.
The more types of coverage you choose and the higher your policy limits are, the more you will need to pay to your insurance company, as you're essentially being provided with more protection than a standard plan.
A history of frequent claims or high payouts can lead to higher premiums, as insurers will view your business as a higher risk to insure.
If you offer delivery services, you'll need to purchase commercial car insurance, which costs more to add to your insurance plan. The number of vehicles, their usage, and your drivers’ records will also influence your rates.
Investing in alarm systems, security cameras, employee safety training, and other preventative measures can help lower your risk profile by preventing claims and showing your insurance provider you're actively reducing your risk exposure.
Running a florist business shouldn't have to stretch your budget. Luckily, there are several strategies you can use to help reduce your rates without compromising on coverage.
Bundle your different insurance policies like general liability, commercial auto, property coverage, and more with the same insurance company to save up to 15% off on your premiums.
You may qualify for different discounts and promos with your insurance provider. Make sure to ask whether your business is eligible for savings.
Insurance companies often add a surcharge to customer accounts that pay monthly, as it costs them money to process each payment. You can avoid these fees by paying for your premium upfront instead of over the year.
A deductible is the amount you agree to pay to your insurance company when filing a claim, before your policy kicks in to cover remaining costs. By increasing your deductible, you can lower your rate slightly. But you will need to pay more out of pocket if you need to file a claim in the future.
As your florist business blooms and changes, so should your insurance coverage. To ensure you aren't paying for unneeded insurance and to prevent coverage gaps, review your florist insurance once a year before renewing your policies.
Insurance brokers are industry experts who have access to numerous policies from different insurance companies. This allows them to shop around on your behalf, compare rates, and unlock savings that can lower your premiums. The best part of all? Working with a broker is free of charge!
BrokerLink is a leading brokerage with years of experience working with florist professionals across Canada. Our brokers can help you protect your business with customized insurance policies that fit your needs and budget.

About us
Flower shop insurance can vary significantly across Canada based on factors like location, business size, coverage limits, risk exposure, and more. On average, floral shops tend to pay between a couple of hundred dollars and over a thousand.
It can be if you specifically purchase stock or spoilage coverage. While some business insurance plans may include this automatically, others may not.
If you have commercial car insurance, damage to your vehicle, goods, and injuries you or your employees may suffer will be covered by your policy.
If you operate an online flower shop, cyber liability is highly recommended. This policy will help protect your interests and finances should a data breach occur or against other risks like payment fraud.
Yes. Most venues require florists to show proof of event liability insurance before they are allowed to work on-site. This insurance protects both you and the venue in case of property damage, injuries, or accidents during the setup and delivery process.
Yes. Home-based florist insurance is available and highly recommended. This insurance can protect your stick, equipment, and your business from liabilities. Standard home insurance will not protect your business. A separate policy that covers your business operations is needed.
Canadian florists can get coverage the same day they apply when working with BrokerLink.
