Strictly to home bakers without a storefront:
How much do you pay a year for insurance? (Product liability insurance, etc.)
I know it varies quite a bit, but I was looking to see if there's an average cost.
Thanks!!
$400/year liability insurance for $2M coverage with The Hartford via Wells Fargo, and $500/year for worker's comp coverage (to cover an unpaid intern) from the CA state fund.
This is in the SF bay area. We're not a home baker (that's illegal in CA) but we do not have a storefront either.
Mine is $500 in Virginia...Who are you using, pinkpiggie? Yours is better than what I'm paying!
Thanks, I'll look into that. I think I have the same amount of coverage, but maybe it's higher. If not, I want a refund!
I use the same insurance company as I do for my homeowner's insurance, so I got a nice price break. I pay about $27 per month for my business liability insurance.
I checked, I have $2million worth of coverage, so that's why I'm paying more. I'm married to the most paranoid financial auditor in the world, so I'm sure that at some point he wanted he to go with the higher amount

It's also possible that $500 is the minimum premium amount for your broker. Before I switched, I used to pay ~$900 for a $1M liability policy...turns out that the broker did not sell GL policies with premiums less than $900. So if the actual premium set by the underwriter was (e.g.) $500, the broker still charged customers $900, and they pocketed the extra $400 as a referral fee.

Thanks for the posts. I'm hoping to get insurance through my homeowner's insurance company like tootie. I'd like it not to be too costly....wishful thinking probably...
i pay $425/yr for business liability 1M, and for business property attached to the home an additional $230 on our home owners, this covers loss of income if theres a fire, or something that prevents me from doing business and protects all the tools and equipment inthe business.
$225/yr for $1m and 5k of equipment--through my home owners/car, etc. agency--in Ohio.
Good luck! :0)
