High prices impacting your business?

Higher-than-average inflation in 2023 and 2024 have continued to impact the cost of goods and services. But it doesn’t stop there. Property values, debt ratios and liability exposures can also be impacted.

To ensure your franchise has adequate protection against the rising costs of property damage to your buildings, liability for third-party injuries and more, it is important to revisit your business insurance regularly.

Contact Lockton Affinity, co-broker of the Elevanta Insurance Program to ensure your Buffalo Wild Wings franchise has the right coverages in place.

Elevanta.LocktonAffinity.com | (844) 403-4947

The Elevanta Insurance Program is administered by Lockton Affinity, LLC d/b/a Lockton Affinity Insurance Brokers LLC in California #0795478.

Coverage is subject to actual policy terms and conditions. Policy benefits are the sole responsibility of the issuing insurance company. Coverage may be provided by an excess/surplus lines insurer which is not licensed by or subject to the supervision of the insurance department of your state of residence. Policy coverage forms and rates may not be subject to regulation by the insurance department of your state of residence. Excess/Surplus lines insurers do not generally participate in state guaranty funds and therefore insureds are not protected by such funds in the event of the insurer’s insolvency. Elevanta will receive a royalty fee for the licensing of its name and trademarks as part of the insurance program offered to the extent permitted by applicable law.
