No matter how careful you are, accidents happen. FLIP offers cottage food law insurance so that common mishaps don’t break the bank. You can opt for a policy that covers common claims like third-party injury, damaged equipment, and product liability, safeguarding you against expensive consequences.

Michigan food truck license requirements can vary by region; however, they all include an application and fees. Though the state doesn’t mandate that vendors carry insurance, most events will likely require you to have liability coverage.
Michigan Liquor Liability Insurance
Good food goes hand-in-hand with cocktails, but businesses that serve alcohol take on added risk. If you’re doling out drinks, you’ll need to invest in liquor liability insurance in Michigan.
For example, if a customer becomes intoxicated and causes an accident or gets into a fight, you could be liable. FLIP’s trusted policy can help reduce or even eliminate those costs.
Licensed Nationwide*
Food companies that move from Michigan to another state are still covered with FLIP’s insurance, provided that owners continue to follow local and state regulations and certification requirements in their current state.
