Property Damage: Protection against damage to the shop's building, contents, and equipment from risks like fire, theft, vandalism, or natural disasters.
Liability Insurance: Coverage for accidents or injuries that occur on the shop's premises, protecting against legal costs or compensation claims from customers or visitors.
Business Interruption: Compensation for lost income if the business is forced to close due to damage to the premises or other unforeseen circumstances.
Theft and Burglary: Coverage for losses caused by break-ins or theft, including stolen inventory and damage caused during the theft.
Employee Protection: Employers’ liability insurance covers injuries or illnesses suffered by employees while working at the shop.
Product Liability: For shops selling products, this protects against claims related to faulty goods that cause harm or injury to customers.
Accidental Damage: Coverage for unintentional damage to the shop's property or stock.
Fidelity Insurance: Protection against financial loss from employee theft or dishonesty.
