Shop & Retail Insurance Policy Features

insurance
Liability cover

Protect your business against claims from both the public and the employees who allege physical injury, death or damage to their possessions as a result of an accident on your premises, caused by you or your equipment or property. As an employer, employers liability is a legal requirement.

insurance
Business interruption

When you are unable to use your office due to flood or fire, or during its repair, loss of income is covered so that you can continue to pay staff, overheads and other bills. Varying levels of cover are available so that you can cover the costs that you need to ensure your business keeps operating.

Stock

There is almost nothing worse than when you face a major incident that affects your business, especially when it comes to your stock. Floods, fires and theft all happen no matter how careful you are, so it’s key to ensure you are covered for the correct amount of stock.
