Do clothing retailers need insurance to lease space or comply with regulations?

Yes!  

  • Landlords usually require proof of liability insurance before signing a lease, and workers’ compensation is legally required in most states if you have employees.  
  • Even when not legally mandated, coverage builds trust with landlords, employees, and customers.
