Why Clothes Shop Insurance is Important

Clothing stores, like Kimora Fashion & Lifestyle in Barrowford, Lancashire, have their own individual risks to consider, from high value designer goods in store, to the seasonal sales rush where customer numbers may increase dramatically. This is where business insurance can help you. Whether it is to protect your key assets, your premises, or your customers and staff, it is important to understand what the most relevant type of insurance cover is for you and your business.

About the Fashion Industry

The fashion industry is diverse with a wide spectrum of stores ranging from discount outlets to designer boutiques. Every store is different with its own unique set of risks and it is vital that you have the right clothes shop business insurance in place in order to protect your livelihood.

Frequently Asked Questions

A

The cost of your policy depends on your needs. Our policies are flexible and can adapt to fit your requirements. So, whether you're a small village shop or a large, out-of-town retailer we can match you with the policy you need. For example, multiple options may be available from our panel of insurers - each with different features and prices. We will present you with the possibilities so you can make an informed decision on which option is best for you.

As you constantly have members of the public filtering in and out of your shop, public liability insurance is crucial. This type of insurance protects you if a member of the public is injured or their property is damaged on your premises. Your contents and stock are your livelihood and protecting them will ensure your business doesn't suffer. Contents insurance protects your goods in the case of theft, damage or devastation such as fire and floods. If you have employees, you are required by law to have employers liability insurance (unless your employees are immediate family or your spouse). This protects you if an employee becomes injured or seriously ill as a result of working for you. Finally, you may want to consider financial protection and business interruption cover. Financial protection ensures that cash on your premises is safe. Similarly, business interruption cover is necessary to protect you in the event your shop is closed due to damage.

There is a wide range of optional cover available depending on your needs. If you own your shop premises, then you will need buildings insurance to protect your bricks and mortar. If, however, you rent your premises, check with your landlord to see if your building is covered. We can arrange flexible policies that match your needs - all you have to do is tell us what your key risks are and what you need covering, and we'll do our best to arrange appropriate cover at a competitive price.
