Newsagents insurance

Without the right newsagents’ insurance in place, you may be personally responsible for any losses that occur, as well as any third-party claims that could be submitted against you.

Your shop insurance should be geared up to cover eventualities that could negatively impact your business. As a retailer, you will have contents, fixtures and fittings, stock and potentially buildings that will need to be safeguarded against a number of perils. Your policy can incorporate these, and protect your livelihood against fire, flood, theft, storm damage and a number of other perils that could damage your property and impact your ability to trade. We can even arrange cover to protect your business equipment whilst you are out and about away from your retail premises.

At Premierline, we offer flexible newsagent insurance policies that can be as simple or comprehensive as you need depending on your business requirements. When deciding what insurance and covers you need to protect your shop, you should consider the following:

• Public liability – for injured shop visitors or damage to their property.
• Employers’ liability – to protect your shop employees.
• Buildings cover – to cover for loss or damage to your shop premises.
• Equipment, contents and stock – to reinstate your items and belongings.
• Business interruption – to keep finances running when disaster strikes.
• Money cover – for theft or attempted theft.
• Goods in transit – to cover for loss or damage to stock when in transit, loading, or unloading.
• Business legal expenses – to cover the cost of legal expenses or defending your shop against legal action.

The cost of your newsagent insurance will depend on your business activities, the location of your shop and the amount and type of covers you require to protect your business. Like any other insurance, generally the more cover you require the higher the premium.

The value you gain from having the right cover in place is a huge benefit to your business. A shop insurance policy is a product that you have paid for that you may never get to use, but also a product that you hope you will never need to call on.
