What does Cannabis Insurance cover?
A comprehensive Cannabis Insurance policy package will typically include critical coverages, such as:

- Stock: inventory coverage offers financial protection for seeds, plants, and finished stock. (For indoor cultivation operations).
- Product Liability Insurance: covers costs associated with liability claims of bodily injury due to cannabis products you sold, developed, or supplied to a client.
- Cyber Insurance: policy provides financial protection against network security and privacy issues, such as a data breach.
- Equipment Breakdown Insurance: coverage of your cannabis cultivation equipment in the event of mechanical and electrical breakdowns due to internal causes.
