Retail Business Insurance
Why retail businesses need insurance
Retailers face a unique mix of risks because your premises, stock and customer interactions are central to how you operate. Even a small incident can interrupt trading or impact your revenue.
Common risks include:
• Theft or damage to stock
• Shopfront or internal glass damage
• Customer slips, trips or injuries
• Equipment breakdown that disrupts trading
• Loss of income after an insured event
Insurance helps reduce the financial strain from these types of events and keeps your business moving.
We help you secure tailored retail business insurance that protects your stock, premises and income, giving you confidence to keep trading even when the unexpected happens.
What retail insurance can include
When you arrange business insurance for your shop, you can choose the covers that make sense for the way you trade. Your policy can be built from a range of options, including:
Public Liability helps protect you if a customer or visitor is injured in your store or if their belongings are accidentally damaged.
For damage to your shop, contents or stock caused by insured events such as fire, storms or water damage.
Protection for your external shopfront windows as well as internal glass panels, shelving and display cabinets.
Support for lost income and ongoing expenses if your store cannot operate after an insured event.
Cover for stolen stock, damaged locks, or loss of contents caused by a break-in.
Protection for business cash kept on premises, in a safe or in transit.
Cover for sudden breakdown of equipment such as refrigeration units, air conditioning systems or other essential machinery.
Protection for your computer systems, point-of-sale devices and other electronic equipment if they fail unexpectedly.
Cover for items you use away from your store, such as handheld devices, laptops or tools used for displays or offsite work.
Insurance for business vehicles or trailers used for deliveries, stock movement or day-to-day operations.
A benefit that supports you with income if you are temporarily unable to work due to a covered injury or illness.
Protection for loss of goods or money caused by fraudulent actions of an employee.
