Understanding insurance for boutiques
Get your boutique protected, with one simple policy
As the owner or manager of a boutique, you will be open to the public and will work direct with people which presents risks that need to be considered. Within your working areas there may be conditions such as water on the floor if it is raining outside which could cause a person to slip and fall, or a display being unsecured risking injuring someone. These risks and more can be managed with a boutique shop business insurance policy which will help you if you are faced with a liability claim for damage or injury if something goes wrong in your boutique.
At The Insurance Octopus, we source comprehensive tailored business insurance policies that are designed to be flexible, ensuring you get a bespoke boutique insurance package that specific to your needs, providing vital protection against damage to your business profits.
What your boutique shop insurance policy includes
Buildings and Contents cover for boutiques
Buildings and Contents cover will protect the sums you insure to match the levels of protection you need. Covered items can include glass, shop fronts, signs and much more. Should your business premises be damaged then your contents may well be damaged too.
Public Liability & Product Liability insurance
Public Liability insurance covers your business if someone gets hurt or their property is damaged in the course of your business. Product liability covers you for instances whereby your products cause bodily or harm to a third party. Available levels of cover options are £1m, £2m or £5m.
Public & Employers Liability
Public & Employers Liability is a legal obligation and covers retailers dealing directly with the public. As a retailer, you will have a legal responsibility to ensure that you have provided safe and secure surroundings for your employees and any visitors to your business premises. Public & Employers Liability cover is available as £2m, £5m and £10m.
Stock Insurance protection
Stock Insurance protection for every boutique is different and each will have various levels of stock. By making sure your shop insurance is the correct level, there will be no need for you to be paying for more than you need. It’s worth noting though that quoting for less than you need could be devastating for your financial status in the event of needing to make a claim.
Business Interruption, Cash on Premises, and Goods in Transit
Business Interruption, Cash on Premises, and Goods in Transit are all additional add-on covers that can be increased or decreased as required. By having flexibility with your business insurance policy through The Insurance Octopus, you can make sure your insurance is just exactly what you need.
