One of the requirements when purchasing cannabis business insurance is your agreement to allow the insurance company to perform what’s called a loss control inspection. The purpose of a cannabis loss control inspection is to help the insurance company know what they’re covering, but also to help you, the policyholder, with safety measures to help you run your business as efficiently as possible by either preventing losses from occurring or reducing the severity of the ones that might occur. Once the loss control inspection is completed you’ll receive recommendations from the insurance carrier of what changes need to be made to.
