What makes Georgia different
Property coverage in Georgia should account for severe thunderstorms, tornadoes and hurricane exposure near Savannah. Metro Atlanta’s large salon-suite market means many beauty professionals are independent tenants who carry their own policies.
Compare deductibles (including any separate wind, hail or named-storm deductible), whether equipment breakdown is included, and how long business income coverage waits before it starts.

No Georgia statute requires it for salons, but leases, lenders, salon suite operators and venues often do, and it protects the business from claims it would otherwise pay out of pocket.
