That’s where The Allen Thomas Group comes in.

Arizonan Expertise, Retail Savvy
Arizona Know-How: With over a decade serving retailers statewide, we understand the distinct risk profiles facing different retail sectors. For example, restaurants face a 78% higher chance of property damage from monsoon flooding compared to clothing stores. We know Arizona retailers inside out – and can pinpoint risks specific to your operation.
Risk Identification: We take a proactive approach to identifying hazards – from region-specific risks like dust storms (costing Arizona businesses $100 million annually) to surges in tourist numbers. By detecting dangers upfront, we can design insurance to match.
Customized Solutions: Rather than force retailers into rigid, generic policies, we create flexible plans addressing your unique assets, activities and exposure to risk. On average, this tailored approach can save Arizona retailers 15% compared to ill-fitting insurance packages.
Deep Dive into Essential Coverages
Now let’s explore must-have insurance policies to safeguard Arizona retail ventures.
General liability insurance is essential for retailers hosting customers onsite. It protects you from costly bodily injury or property damage claims – whether a visitor slips on a wet floor or knocks over a display. With the average slip and fall lawsuit settlement costing $25,000 in Arizona, can you really afford not to insure against accidents or injuries?
We enhance standard general liability policies to suit Arizona exposures like wind-toppled outdoor displays or tourist mishaps with souvenirs.
Our water-tight coverage safeguards both patrons and your bottom line, while preventing stress around potential payouts averaging $3,000 per claim.
As an Arizona retailer, your building, inventory, furnishings and equipment face higher-than-average risks from fires, storms, theft and vandalism. One hailstorm alone can devastate a retail space – costing you thousands in repairs, cleanup and lost business.
Our commercial property insurance gets your shop reopened pronto even after devastating damage. We even offer options like food spoilage coverage – essential during Arizona’s hot summers. Plus our plans extend beyond the building itself to shield movable assets, whether you run a jewelry store, boutique or outdoors outfitter.
Our customers rave about our support after chaotic events like monsoons or burglaries. We empower retailers to bounce back quicker with customized help. There’s no need to lose sleep over secured inventory and equipment – or weeks of disrupted operations – with our air-tight commercial property insurance shielding your livelihood.
Rather than juggle multiple policies, a Business Owners Policy bundles commonly-needed protections – like property and liability coverages – under one roof. It’s the ultimate way to secure critical retail safeguards conveniently and cost-effectively.
On average, BOPs reduce insurance expenses by 10% for Arizona retailers. But they provide more than monetary savings: they also minimize paperwork and simplify your insurance portfolio.
Retail sectors most vulnerable to risks like shoplifting, employee injuries or monsoon destruction stand to benefit most – think liquor stores, restaurants or gift shops.
Securing small retail businesses across Arizona for over a decade has taught us that convenience, paired with comprehensiveness, offers business owners invaluable peace of mind. Our tailored BOPs do exactly that.
As an Arizona employer, you’re legally required to insure staff against on-the-job accidents and injuries with workers’ comp. Beyond mere compliance, this indispensable policy also safeguards your business itself from employee lawsuits. Plus it covers replacement staffing costs whenever an injured worker goes on leave.
In Arizona, average premium costs hover around $1.30 per $100 in payroll. Rates depend on your sector’s inherent risks and your history of claims. Our advisors keep retailers informed around changing compliance regulations while securing your enterprise from potential liability problems down the line.
Most vitally, workers’ comp brings peace of mind to both leadership and staff – ensuring employees get prompt medical care without bearing costs. In the retail realm especially, prioritizing worker safety through comprehensive insurance and ongoing training creates positive morale, loyalty and productivity. It’s truly a win-win for Arizona retail outfits.
Crime Insurance
As rising retail theft dominate headlines nationwide, securing your assets against burglary, robbery, and other crimes becomes ever-more critical. Crime insurance delivers essential financial protection when your cash, inventory or equipment comes up missing.
With burglary risks elevated for Arizona’s 13,000+ retailers, our customized plans shield your business based on sector-specific vulnerabilities. For instance, a jewelry shop may prioritize smash-and-grab burglary coverage with inventory protection, while a boutique could emphasize employee theft coverage.
Premium costs typically range from $2,000 – $5,000 annually for mid-sized Arizona retail spaces. Rates reflect your security features, high-theft location risk, and assets requiring coverage. We encourage retailers to view this as an investment – securing financial stability and peace of mind instead of merely an operational expense.
Don’t let crime leave your retail dreams in ruins. Protect your livelihood’s fruits against unlawful damage or theft with our iron-clad crime coverage.
Between Arizona’s wildfire season, monsoon menaces, and the ever-present threat of burglary or equipment failure, retail ventures constantly risk serious operational disruptions. Business interruption insurance is the ultimate way to hedge against unexpected closures – helping offset income losses whenever disaster strikes.
If a flood forces your shop to close for repairs or a power outage spoils refrigerated inventory, this invaluable policy activates to cover financial shortfalls. We determine optimal coverage levels based on your average monthly revenues. Plans activate after a predetermined waiting period, granting breathing room to recover losses exceeding your policy’s deductible amount.
For instance, when a week-long monsoon forced floods and road closures keeping customers away from a neighborhood restaurant, business interruption insurance helped the owners maintain payroll, utilities and rent until reopening with minimal long-term financial impact.
Safeguarding your livelihood against Arizona’s most unpredictable thrills and chills, business interruption insurance lets retailers breathe easier. Protect those profits with our customizable coverage today.
Arizona retailers rack up nearly $175 million defending employment-related lawsuits annually. Single legal claims around harassment, discrimination or wrongful termination often exceed $75,000 – enough to devastate small enterprises.
Beyond direct lawsuit costs, settlements and fines, negative publicity around employee disputes causes lasting reputational damage.
Employment practices liability insurance (EPLI) fills this critical coverage gap. Our job-specific plans shield Arizona retailers against complaints around:
- Discrimination
- Workplace harassment
- Wrongful termination
- Retaliation
- Failure to employ or promote
- And more
Whether an ex-employee levels sexual harassment allegations or a candidate claims your hiring process was discriminatory, EPLI activates to cover legal costs, settlements, judgments and fines. Policies covering $1 million in total costs generally run Arizona retailers between $2,000 – $5,000 yearly.
Beyond concrete financial protections, EPLI also promotes conscientious employee relations, diversity and ethical conduct in your retail workspace. It empowers small business owners to make legally-sound hiring and firing decisions without undue anxiety over potential liability disputes. Consider EPLI your wallet’s ally and social conscience’s friend.
Consider this all-too-common scenario: hackers infiltrate outdated point-of-sale software, stealing thousands of customers’ payment details.
Before you even realize you’ve been attacked, an onslaught of lawsuits and regulatory fines threaten your business. Inventory data, payroll records and proprietary files vanish overnight.
As reputational damage snowballs, will your business survive?
Cyber liability insurance covers expenses that otherwise may sink Arizona retail enterprises post-cyberattack.
We shield you from costs spanning:
- Notification and credit monitoring offering impacted customers identity protection services
- Forensic investigation to determine causes and compliance duties
- Legal defense against lawsuits around privacy violations
- Settlements, judgments and civil fines
- Reputation repair and crisis communication guidance
Costs range widely based on your digital assets and annual revenues. For context, small retailers with under $10 million in revenue may invest $1,000 – $5,000 annually for solid protection.
Comprehensive plans for mid-market eCommerce operations often land in the $10,000 – $25,000 range.
