Here at Your Insurance Group we have a retail insurance package offering you generous levels of standard covers including public liability, product liability and employers' liability, that help you to protect your retail business.

We also have many optional extras to choose from to improve your standard retail insurance policy, because when it comes to retail insurance, our specialist team understand that every retail business has different insurance needs.    

Key features of our retail insurance policy

  • Public Liability - our retail insurance package comes with standard cover for public liability and product liability of £2 million which can be increased if required.
  • Employers' Liability - we can provide cover for up to £10 million under our retail insurance policies. Under UK employment law it is a legal requirement to hold employers' liability insurance if you have any employees.
  • Business Interruption - our package comes with this cover as standard to ensure that your business is protected; as retail insurance specialists we know that over 80% of businesses go bankrupt after a serious fire if they are not properly covered.
  • Buildings Cover - we can provide buildings cover at the level you require, which can also be extended to cover any damage caused by subsidence.
  • Contents Cover - we can tailor levels of cover to meet your specific retail insurance requirements.  Contents cover can extend to provide cover for the loss or damage to electronic equipment, tenants improvements as well as fixed and removable items of your shop dressing.
  • Stock Cover - our retail insurance packages come with a standard cover of £1000 for wines and spirits as well as £1000 tobacco and cigarettes, additional cover can be added to mould the policy to your exact needs.
  • Money & Assault Cover - we provide various levels of cover for money handled by you and your staff in the course of your business as well as any injuries sustained following assault, robbery or attempted robbery whilst operating your retail business.  This isn't just limited to within your business premises but extends to cover monies kept at home overnight as well as on your person whilst on your way to the bank.
  • Loss of Licence - as a respectable retail business  you may do your upmost to ensure that you operate within the licensing laws but may still loose your licence allowing you to retail alcohol.  We provide standard cover for any loss in income and reduction in the value of your business following the loss of licence, in qualifying circumstances up to £100,000.
  • Theft by Employees - the standard theft cover available on our shop insurance package only provides cover for theft involving forcible or violent entry to your premises.  We can add cover to protect you against employee dishonesty.
  • Goods in Transit - we provide £2,000 standard cover for loss or damage to your business goods in transit as we understand many retail businesses need to get goods from one place to another, whether it's delivering to a customer or picking up stock from a supplier.
