Question 6

Do I need separate coverage if I work in multiple states?

Accepted Answer

If you operate primarily in Colorado, your policy should be written for that state. If you regularly work across state lines, you may need endorsements or multi-state coverage. NEXT Insurance can often cover multi-state operations under a single policy. Disclose all states where you operate when applying to avoid coverage gaps.

Question 7

What is NOT covered by a standard convenience store insurance policy?

Accepted Answer

Standard general liability does not cover: employee injuries (requires workers' comp), vehicles (requires commercial auto), professional errors (requires E&O), cyber attacks (requires cyber liability), or intentional acts. Understanding these gaps is critical — many convenience store businesses need 2–3 policies for complete protection. A Business Owners Policy (BOP) can bundle GL + commercial property at a discount.
