Shop Insurance

Cover tailored for your retail business

Whether you own a small corner shop or run a larger retail business operating across multiple locations, you can face numerous risks as a business.

A customer or employee may make a claim against you for a negligent act that causes injury; a burst pipe could damage high-value stock; or an unforeseen incident could lead to a period of business interruption, affecting your ability to trade. This is where a retail insurance policy can offer you financial protection.

However, shop insurance isn’t ‘one-size-fits all’—it’s important to get appropriate cover that reflects the products you sell and the way your business operates.

A jeweller, for example, may be exposed to different risks than a bakery, and a pop-up shop or local business would need different levels of cover than a large retail outlet or a chain of stores. We can work with you to ensure you have the appropriate insurance for your retail business, whatever its size or complexity.
