Why Admiral chose to provide cannabis coverage

For years, Admiral has specialized in providing excess and surplus (E&S) coverage for commercial risks that standard markets typically won’t cover. Given the turbulent legal climate of the industry, cannabis coverage falls directly into this category.

So, we made the decision to develop a solution for the growing cannabis industry. Our cannabis coverage is available for the following classes:

• Retailers with on-premises consumption
• Retailers without on-premises consumption
• Cultivators
• Processors / Manufacturers
• Wholesalers / Distributors
• Medicinal and Recreational
• Marijuana Paraphernalia and Related Products - including Vapes

Here are a few reasons why Admiral is uniquely suited to provide coverage for the cannabis industry:

• We have proven experience and expertise with similar risks like health, nutrition & lifestyle, e-cigarettes, and liquor.
• Admiral is large enough to support this emerging type of coverage. Yet, we are also nimble enough to adjust to the changing marketplace and industry.
