Specialty insurance programs for sporting goods retail stores

Not everyone can find you the right insurance for your sporting goods store. We can. That's because we have worked closely with the insurance companies we represent to assemble the right insurance protection options for sporting goods stores. Our solutions aren't just regular old business insurance with a different coat of paint.

Talk to us or contact us today for a custom insurance proposal for your sporting goods retail store.

The lists below hint at the complexity of building the right insurance program for your sports store. Don't sweat the details. Contact us and set up a consultation. We make sport of this stuff.

Don't just take our word for it, see what our clients have to say.

Nearly all sporting goods retailers need insurance for:

  • Property
  • Liability
  • Computer equipment
  • Loss of income
  • Loss Control Assistance Available

These insurance coverages can be provided through a business owner's insurance policy (commonly called a BOP) or through individual insurance policies that can be customized.

Most sporting goods retailers should consider insurance for:

  • Employee dishonesty
  • Cyber liability
  • Ordinance or law
  • Employee benefits insurance

Depending on the nature of your sporting goods retail business you may need these types of insurance protections:

  • Equipment breakdown
  • Business auto
  • Flood insurance
  • Workers compensation insurance

What our sporting goods retailer insurance clients have to say...

"Hobson cut my gun business insurance costs practically in half for coverage that was just as good or better. I didn't even know these guys existed and happened across them on accident. I'm glad I did. Follow up and communication was fantastic; they held my hand and made it easy. They keep taking care of me like this and I'll be a lifetime customer. "

"It's Friday afternoon, 3:45 MT to be exact. I realized I hadn't followed through on an email for insurance for our archery event. I hadn't forwarded our documents to Hobson Insurance.... So I called out of pure chance and panic! Jeff answers and proceeds to connect me to Sherry in Montana to see if she could help me. Jeff said "if any one can, it would be Sherry".

Sherry gets my information and sends it off to see if by chance someone is working late and can secure my coverage. Now keep in mind my event is 60% set up already, lots of time and effort. Sherry says "We'll see, if you don't hear from me in the next 25-30 minutes then we're probably out of luck". I was very thankful for the effort to save my event. I was not feeling hopeful. 24 minutes later Sherry calls and says it was in process and she's waiting for an email so I can pay. I couldn't believe it, but we weren't out of the woods yet. 20 more minutes and I was secured with insurance for my event!! Less than an hour from when I called and on a Friday afternoon when 1/2 the country was shut down for the week. BRAVO Sherry and Jeff! First time caller, lifetime customer. That's customer service at its best." "
Brandon Waddell
Mountain Archery Fest, Hesperus, CO

"I cant say enough about what a wonderful job Sherry has done. She has been diligent and thorough as we worked through basically a complete overhaul of our company insurance. Sherry is always a pleasure to communicate with whether that is via email or on the phone. Thank you, Sherry! I know Im often challenging to get ahold of, but I greatly appreciate all the effort you put into this and the money you are saving our company. Thank you!!"

" Kristy and the team at Hobson Insurance swooped in and saved a 100 year old manufacturing business from an indemnification catastrophe. Within 15 days after contacting Hobson Insurance, we were comparing policy components from 3 different groups. Within 30 days we had what we needed to continue on with our business knowing we were covered with 11 distributors and product liability insurance to 4 million. There was great communication and explanation when we had questions and

We had a lot of questions. Great save! Great Company! Thanks again."

Hobson Insurance saved us 39% on our insurance premiums! They have great customer service and have a real interest in helping independent retailers save money!"

"Working with Hobson Insurance has been a wonderful experience! Not only did they save our business money on our insurance, they combined our two policies into one and gave us better payment options. Their helpfulness and responsiveness along with checking in frequently to make sure everything is going well proves they care about their clients and the industry. "

"I began working with Hobson Insurance on some insurance things about a month or so ago and they have been more than helpful. They found us a policy that's competitive and were very helpful in getting that put into place. They have always been very communicative which is a huge plus for me. Thank you for your time. "

"We have been using Hobson Insurance for at least 20 years. They have provided us with excellent service in covering our business insurance needs. They have always been very willing to look for the right coverage at the most competitive rates. We have compared them with agencies in our area. They provide our business liability, property, automobile coverage and some specialty coverage on rentals of skis and watercraft. I definitely recommend that you give Hobson Insurance an opportunity to quote your insurance needs."
-Ed Beal, Capital Sports & Western Wear
Helena, MT

"As a small independent business owner it has been a constant effort to drive unnecessary costs out of my business without compromising the services that we offer or put the long term viability of the company at risk. Hobson Insurance has not only delivered an impressive insurance package, but I have found the costs associated with the policy to be extremely competitive. Their staff has been pleasant, easy to work with and always willing to assist me when I have a question on my policy."
-Conway Marvin, Streiff Sporting Goods

"We have been insured by Hobson Insurance since 2003. With their help we are able to insure our real estate, inventory, and workers compensation for far less than we were paying for jsut the real estate along. Not only is our cost less, but the service we receive is prompt, knowledgeable and courteous. We will continue doing business with Hobson Insurance for years to come."
-Linda Mace, Mace Sports

-Chad Wyffels, Borch's Sporting Goods

"Last summer my gun shop liability coverage doubled with only 5 days notice. We had been in business 33 years and had used the same insurance. I called Hobson with my problem and in 2 days had a quote with a savings of over $5000 per year. They are very courteous and efficient. We should have switched 2 years ago. I highly recommend Hobson Insurance."
-Donna Lowe, Bill's Sporting Goods

"I have been with Hobson Insurance for many years - I have had other insurance for my business, but their quotes never came close to Hobson Insurances."

"I spent 40 years in the insurance industry and know for a fact that Hobson Insurances program is excellent and cost very competitive. They certainly have the knowledge and resources to meet the needs of the firearms industry."
-Jerry Hassler, Franklin Gun Shop
Franklin, TN

"In business you have enough to worry about in your day to day operation without worrying about your business property and liability insurance. Hobson has given me this peace of mind. From the minor slip and fall claims to some very major claims, it has only taken one call to get them taken care of. I would highly recommend Hobson Insurance. The only advantage your home town agent can give you is he has the same zip code."
-James B. Smith, Smith & Edwards Company, Inc.
Ogden, UT

"Switching coverage from a local broker some years ago was traumatic....at least for our local broker. They claimed that buying local was important. I agreed and gave them a chance to come close to Hobson's price. They could not and we switched. Over the years different "local" brokers have tried, but none here came "close". The pleasant surprise has been the excellent service."
-Bob Schlecht, Bob's Merchandiser
Longview, WA

"I am very pleased to say that I saved a considerable amount by using your business package insurance. I am in the process of trying to place additional insurance on my home, rental property, and three autos with you. I have told several of my friends who are members of Worldwide to look at and investigate insurance with you and save money especially the way the economy is."
-Mickey Goldstein, Mickey's Surplus
Kansas, City, KS

"I am so pleased with the extremely efficient service and the cost savings that I am starting a review of all my business and personal insurance with Hobson Insurance and I highly recommend that you do the same."
-Ken Elie, Outdoor Pro Shop
Cotati, CA

"Hobson Insurance saved us $22,000 a year!"
-David Reynerson, Bowie Outfitters

"We are very satisfied with Hobson Insurance."
-Bruce Pelletier, Pelletier's
Jaffrey, NH

"Kristy and her staff are unbelievable, they got me a lot more coverage for 40% less and that is just the first half of the story. Unfortunately we had a million dollar fire loss and once again Kristy and her staff have been there every step of the way. Anybody can sell you insurance, what matters is how they handle a claim. Give Hobson Insurance a shot at your business and you'll be happy too!"
