If you run a bakery, you need insurance that covers the basics: public liability for customer accidents, property cover for your equipment and stock, and product liability in case something you've made causes harm. Most bakeries can get sorted with a standard business pack from the major insurers.

We work with bakeries across Australia, whether you're running a shopfront, operating from home, or supplying wholesale. We'll look at what you actually do, ask the right questions, and get you cover that fits.

RISK ARCHITECTURE

What bakery insurance typically covers

A business insurance policy for a bakery usually includes:

Public liability if a customer has an accident in your shop or gets injured because of your business operations.

Property cover for your premises, equipment, and stock if there's a fire, theft, or other insured event.

Product liability if someone gets sick from something you've baked or sold.

Business interruption to replace lost income if you can't trade due to an insured event, like fire damage to your kitchen.

If you've got employees, you'll also need workers compensation, which is arranged separately through your state's scheme.

Bakery oven and equipment

Why bakeries need this cover

Even a small incident can cost you. A customer slips on a wet floor and breaks their wrist. Someone has an allergic reaction to a product and needs medical treatment. Your oven breaks down or your shopfront gets damaged.

Without the right insurance, you're covering those costs yourself. With it, you're protected and can keep running your business.

TECHNICAL ANALYSIS

What we look at when quoting

We'll ask about your setup: are you a shopfront bakery, home-based, or wholesale? What's your annual revenue? Do you do any catering or off-site work, like markets or events? What type of products do you make, and do you handle common allergens? We'll also ask about your premises and equipment, whether you've got employees, and if you've had any past claims. This helps us get you the right cover at a fair price.

KNOWLEDGE BASE

Common questions bakeries ask

Yes, product liability covers claims if someone gets sick from your products. This includes allergic reactions, food poisoning, or contamination. Make sure you're honest about what you make and sell when you're getting a quote, otherwise you risk not being covered.
You can still get cover, but you need to tell your insurer. A standard home and contents policy won't cover your business activities. You'll need a business policy that covers your commercial kitchen, equipment, stock, and public liability. Some insurers are more comfortable with home-based food businesses than others, so let us know your setup and we'll find the right fit.
Not automatically. If you're using a vehicle for deliveries, you'll need commercial motor insurance. This covers the vehicle itself and any liability if your driver has an accident while working. We can sort this as part of your overall business cover.
It depends on your revenue, what you're making, where you're operating, and what cover you need. A small home-based baker might pay $500 to $1,000 a year for basic public and product liability. A larger shopfront bakery with employees and higher revenue could be paying $2,000 to $5,000+ for a full business pack. We'll get you quotes from insurers like Vero, CGU, AIG, Allianz, and others to make sure you're getting a price that's fair.
