## Resource

South Carolina’s bars and restaurants are getting a much-needed insurance lifeline as a new partnership between the South Carolina Bar and Tavern Association and Ragnar Hospitality aims to cut through the chaos of skyrocketing liquor liability premiums. With insurers pulling out and costs soaring—some business owners paying over 40x more in just a few years—Ragnar’s hands-on approach, which evaluates operations instead of just alcohol sales, could be the game-changer. While last year’s legislative fixes fell short, this initiative hopes to lure more insurers into the market, stabilize rates, and give small businesses the breathing room they need to survive, thrive, and keep pouring into the local economy.
