What is butcher shop insurance?
Tradie insurance (the different types of business insurance designed for tradespeople) helps your business manage the cost of various risks, like third party injuries, accidental property damage, stolen tools, and mistakes in your work—just to name a few.
Butcher shops, like any other business, face a variety of risks. And these risks can be expensive. What would you do if a customer slips and falls on your premises, or a power outage spoils your stock?
If paying unplanned bills out of pocket would make it impossible for you to bring home the bacon, you might want to consider business insurance.
Why do butcher shops need insurance?
Butchers may need business insurance to meet rental obligations and cover unexpected legal costs.

Get cover that works with the risks of your business
Select different cover amounts for each policy listed below.
This is the most you will be paid out if you need to make a claim.
Unsure how much to choose? Think about:
Statutory Profession Requirements
Cover required by contracts
Number of employees being covered
Your contract value
Worst case scenario claim size
Underinsurance
We know it’s tempting to select a lower level of cover to reduce premiums, but this can leave businesses shocked and insufficiently covered when making a claim.
Ways underinsurance catches business owners out:
Inflation
With inflation, the cost of living and doing business increases. Remember to cover you, your tools and assets for the rising costs of replacing or covering them, not what you paid for them – you may be surprised at the difference.
Not covering the full cost of your risks
If you select cover levels for less than the value you may be found liable – left out of pocket when it comes to claims time. It’s important to review your risks and determine how much you will need to cover any claim that may come your way.

Frequently Asked Questions
If you are leasing retail space for your butcher shop, your commercial landlord will likely require that you have Public Liability insurance. Public Liability insurance is designed to provide protection for you and your business in the event a customer, supplier or a member of the public is injured or sustains property damage as a result of your negligent business activities.
Glass insurance (an optional part of a Business Insurance Pack) may also be required to lease shop space.
Public Liability insurance usually includes Product Liability cover, to protect against personal injury or property damage caused by the products you sell. The last thing you want on your plate is a sick customer, and Products Liability insurance can help protect your business if you ever face a food poisoning claim.
A Business Insurance Pack is an easy, convenient way for butcher shop owners to protect their business property, stock and assets.
Business Insurance can be tailored to suit your business needs. Popular cover options for butcher shops include Contents, Glass, Theft, Money, Machinery Breakdown, Business Interruption and more.
Working in a butcher shop means you rely on your body to be physically fit for the job. Personal Accident and Illness insurance can provide levels of cover for loss of income, permanent disablement and even death if you are unable to work as a result of an injury or illness (even if it occurs outside of your employment).
