Shopkeeper Insurance

A combined policy protecting a shop's stock, premises and related risks, subject to the selected cover.

How we help

A shopkeeper's policy bundles the covers a small retailer usually needs into one policy. Depending on the plan, these can include fire and allied perils, burglary, money in the shop or in transit, glass and signboards, and liability to customers.

A bundled policy is simpler to manage than several separate ones. We help you work out the value of your stock, fittings and cash, and choose the sections that make sense for your shop.

We also explain what is excluded, such as losses from poor stock records, so that a claim is not disputed because of a gap in paperwork.

What it covers

  • Stock and contents cover
  • Cover for fire, burglary and other listed risks
  • Covers vary by policy

Coverage, exclusions, and claim conditions depend on the policy and insurer.

Common questions

What people ask us about Shopkeeper Insurance

What does a shopkeeper's policy cover?

It depends on the sections you choose. Common ones are fire and allied perils, burglary, money, plate glass and public liability. We list what each section pays.

Is it cheaper than buying separate policies?

Often it is simpler, and the combined premium can be lower than separate covers, but this varies by insurer. We compare the options.

Do I need to keep stock records?

Yes. Without stock records it can be hard to prove what was lost, which can delay or reduce a claim.
