DO I NEED INSURANCE FOR MY SHOP?
Yes, it is highly recommended for shop owners to have insurance in place to protect their business from unexpected events.
Shop insurance, also called retail insurance, is a specialised type of insurance that provides coverage for a wide range of risks that are specific to the retail industry.
These risks can include everything from damage to your property and contents, to liability claims from customers who may suffer an injury on your premises. Having insurance in place can provide financial protection for your business, covering the cost of repairs, replacement of stolen goods, and legal fees in case of a claim.
It is always better to be prepared and have the necessary coverage in place to protect your business from any unforeseen circumstances.
WHAT DOES SHOP INSURANCE COVER?
Shop insurance typically covers a range of risks that are specific to the retail industry, including:
Buildings cover: This covers damage to your shop building and contents from events such as fire, storm, flood, and theft.
Business interruption: This covers loss of income if your shop is unable to operate due to a covered event, such as a fire or storm.
Public liability: This covers third-party claims of injury or damage caused by your business operations, such as a customer tripping and falling on your premises.
Employers’ liability: This covers claims made by employees who suffer an injury or illness as a result of their work.
Stock and goods in transit: This covers loss or damage to your stock and goods while in transit, such as during delivery or while being transported to a trade fair.
Money cover: This covers loss of money as a result of theft or attempted theft.
Glass cover: This covers the cost of repairing or replacing glass in your shop windows or display cases.
Product liability: This covers claims made by customers who have suffered injury or damage as a result of a defect in a product you have sold.
