Retail Insurance

Running a shop means juggling stock, staff, suppliers, and customers – all while keeping tills ringing. Even with great planning, theft, damage, or liability claims can interrupt trade. Retail Insurance from Java Insurance Brokers is built for the realities of store life, so you can focus on growth while we protect what matters.

Comprehensive Cover For Retailers Of Every Size

If you run a retail operation – from a boutique or furniture showroom to an electronics store, convenience shop, garden centre, or an online retailer with warehousing – the right insurance helps absorb common shocks and keeps your business moving.

What Your Policy Can Include

A well put-together package protects your premises, products, people, and income. Here’s an overview of what we offer:

  • Property Insurance to cover the shop, fixtures, equipment, signage, and inventory against fire, theft, vandalism, and insured weather events.
  • Public Liability Insurance for injury or property damage involving customers or other visitors on your premises or during deliveries and pop-ups.
  • Product Liability Insurance if an item you sell causes injury or damage.
  • Business Interruption to replace lost income and help with ongoing costs if a covered event forces you to close or reduce trading.
  • Employers’ Liability where you have staff, including part-time and seasonal workers, to meet legal requirements.
  • Cyber Insurance for data breaches, hacks, and payment fraud, with support for incident response and regulatory duties.
  • Money Cover for cash on premises and in transit, subject to safe storage and collection procedures.
  • Glass Breakage for shopfronts, internal glazing, and signage.
  • Stock Deterioration following refrigeration or freezer failure for perishable goods.
  • Employee Theft (Fidelity) to address losses caused by dishonest acts, where selected.

Why Retailers Pick Us

You get retail-specific policies tailored to how you trade, competitive terms with flexible options, and clear guidance from specialists who understand footfall peaks, seasonal stock, and delivery risks. Whether you run a single store or a multi-site estate, we make it simple to align limits, add locations, and keep paperwork straightforward. If you ever need to claim, our dedicated team guides you from first call to settlement.

How Cover Is Tailored

No two shops operate the same way. We look at your location and security, peak stock values, refrigeration reliance, e-commerce activity, delivery partners, and any landlord or franchise obligations. We then set property sums insured, liability limits, and interruption periods that reflect real trading conditions rather than rough estimates.

Practical Risk Advice & Claims Support

Good controls cut losses and protect premiums. We can advise on shopfront and shutter security, CCTV and alarm grades, cash handling and banking routines, door policies and slip prevention, temperature monitoring, POS security, and basic cyber hygiene such as MFA, staff training, and secure backups. For online retailers, we will discuss payment fraud controls and courier claims handling.

When something goes wrong, speed and clarity count. Our claims team coordinates contractors, loss adjusters, and suppliers, keeps you informed, and pushes for prompt authorisation – aiming to limit downtime and get you trading again quickly.
