Medical spas in Michigan are regulated by the Michigan Board of Cosmetology and Board of Barber Examiners, under the Department of Licensing and Regulatory Affairs (LARA). Licensing and coverage go together: a service outside someone’s license is one of the easiest ways to end up with a disputed claim.

Frozen-pipe water damage is one of the most common property losses for Michigan storefronts, so water damage coverage and deductibles deserve a close look. No state law mandates general liability, but nearly every commercial lease does.
