Insurance for Retailers

Public Liability Insurance*

Public Liability insurance is an important type of insurance cover for retail shop owners. 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.

It’s also important to ensure you have appropriate Product Liability cover to protect your business against personal injury or property damage claims caused by the products you sell.  Many Public Liability policies include Product Liability cover.

Business Insurance*

Your customers are important, but so are your business assets. Without the right cover, you could be hit with a few unwanted challenges that could leave you severely out of pocket.

Business Insurance can provide cover for:

• Contents and stock* – protecting the contents and stock in your retail shop from burglary, theft, vandalism and accidental damage is a wise move.
• Building* – protect your bricks and mortar with building cover should you need to repair damage or rebuild following fire or other perils such as storm damage or a tree falling on your premises.
• Glass* – one of the most common claims for retail businesses is for broken windows, glass shelving and showcases, mirrors, and porcelain.
• Money* – protect money belonging to your business from being lost, stolen or damaged whilst on your premises, in transit, or in your personal custody.
• Business Interruption* – could your business survive being shut due to an insurable event, for a few days, a week, or longer? Business interruption cover will ensure you get back on your feet in no time by covering the increased costs of running your business, as well as lost revenue while you’ve been out of action.

Cyber Liability*

Small retail businesses are an easy target for cyber criminals. Protect against the expense and legal costs associated if your website is hijacked or point-of-sale system is hacked and your customer’s names and credit card details are stolen.
