Insurance covers to consider
When deciding what insurance and covers you need to protect your business, you should consider the following:
Public liability insurance
With a high footfall of customers visiting your shop daily, you need public liability insurance in case of a slip, trip or fall. As a fundamental part of your vape shop insurance, this invaluable cover can protect you against claims from third parties for accidental injury or accidental damage to their property.

Employers' liability insurance
If you employ staff in your shop then by law you must have employers’ liability insurance. Accidents happen all the time and a member of staff could claim against you for compensation following an injury. By including this cover in your vape shop insurance you can rest assured that you are protected financially as well as fulfilling your legal obligation.

Property covers
When you’re running a shop, your contents help make the first lasting impressions on your clients. Damage to these contents could limit your trade and even prevent you from opening the shop. Contents insurance can cover you against a number of risks such as fire, flood, and theft and can often be extended to include accidental damage and cover for goods away from your shop.
Stock insurance can be specified within your vape shop insurance policy to protect the range of electronic cigarettes, vape fluids and other products that you sell. If you’re looking for buildings cover, this can also be built into your policy.

Business interruption cover
Your shop insurance can protect your physical assets and liability towards others, but if you incur damage at your shop meaning you’re unable to open then business interruption insurance can cover your loss of gross profit while you get back on your feet. Many businesses struggle to recover following a disaster, so be sure to include this cover within your vape shop insurance for your peace of mind.

Commercial legal protection
Commercial legal protection can be included in your vape shop insurance policy to safeguard against employment disputes and awards of compensation. It can also offer protection against tax and VAT disputes and cover you financially if you, your business partners or employees are summoned for jury service.

A vape shop insurance package is something you should consider and is designed to protect retailers which are premises-based. It’s an important insurance policy as it will provide you with the peace of mind that your premises, stock, employees and customers are protected.
Typically a vape shop insurance policy will cover: loss of profit should you be unable to trade, damage to your shop front and glass, theft or attempted theft of money, loss or damage to your stock, employee compensation claims following an injury or illness, claims made by members of the public who visit your vape shop and protection for your premises.
