Business Liability insurance is not very costly, but new clothing companies should be aware of a few factors that impact cost. In general, liability insurance with limits of $1,000,000 per occurrence, sufficient to meet the requirements of many buyers (stores, mega stores, wholesalers, boutiques, etc.) should cost $750 to $1,000 per million of gross sales. If you are a start up, with zero gross sales, expect to pay at least $600 to $850 for a start up policy no matter how much you gross. If you are a start up, interested in making and selling infantwear, childrenswear, or sleepwear of any kind, you need to be aware of the U.S. Consumer Products Safety Commissions requirements for apparel, and flammability testing requirements. And be aware that insurance carriers are very wary of this class of apparel in general and expect to pay $5000 minimum annual premium.
