Buy Cheap Commercial Insurance

Reader’s Question:

I import sea salt from the Philippines for sale to high-end restaurants here in Miami, Florida. It’s a hit because of the high quality salt crystals and unique flavour it brings to a dish. However, I worry a lot about the shipping process because this type of salt requires special handling. Is there some way for me to insure the product so that I don’t face large losses when something goes wrong during the shipping?

Hi, Marilou! I’ve heard a lot about Philippine sea salt – known as “asin” in Filipino, right? I’ve been to Manila. They refer to it as rock salt there. I agree, it is pretty special – larger and much more flavorful than what is usually available in the markets here. I can imagine the importance of ensuring that your imported product retains its quality through its journey to Miami, Florida. Chefs’ palates can be pretty discriminating. Besides, if you fail to ensure quality, it would be easy to lose your clients to the neighborhood supermarkets. I agree – you do need commercial insurance or insurance for your business.

Well, Marilou, depending on what you are willing to pay, there are various types of commercial insurance available to you in Miami, Florida. I suggest that you request for free online quotes regarding commercial insurance in Miami, FL by keying in your zip code on this page’s form.
