Insurance Provider Resource Guide
Missouri cannabis businesses encounter industry specific risks and challenges. We encourage our members to reach out to any of our member agents below to better understand their exposure to these risks and the coverages they may need to protect their businesses.
When Working WIth Your Insurance Provider, Be Sure To Discuss The Following:
- Coverage compliance with Missouri Cannabis Program Requirements
- Policies are specifically and explicitly designed for Cultivators, Manufacturers, Testing Labs, Dispensaries and Transporters.
- Applicability and exploration of all available policies including Professional Liability, Directors & Officers Liability, Employment Practices Liability, Business Income and Cannabis Property coverage including Crop, Finished Stock and Inventory.
- Pay close attention to the list of exclusions and conditions, which can often be removed or amended. Examples as follows:
- Cannabis & Cannabis Impairment
- Foreign Products (vape batteries)
- Health Hazard
- Assault & Battery
- Employed & Contracted Security (armed and unarmed)
- Risk Management practices such as internal policies & procedures implemented to mitigate risk in addition to and in coordination of purchased insurance policies.
- Pay close attention to Liability and Property Limits. Capacity can be limited with some insurers but often negotiated with the appropriate proof of insurability.

Powers Insurance & Risk Management*We have partnered with some of the most specialized insurance companies in the country to help craft policies that are tailored to properly protect businesses in the cannabis industry. As an emerging risk in the state, we are ready to assist with offering our risk management strategies to these business owners -- most of whom will experience rapid changes in their business over the next few years. Because marijuana is still federally illegal, many mass-market carriers are avoiding offering coverage. In today's environment, a cannabis business most likely won't find all of these coverage options available with one insurance company. This is why it's important to work with a risk advisor who utilizes multiple carriers and actually understands the industry (so they can properly insure it for you). *MOCANN PLATINUM MEMBER |
