Business cover

Together we protect what matters to you

The Retail Mutual business cover provides an alternative to insurance for shops and independent retailers, offering peace of mind and flexibility, 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.

Our business cover is designed to offer the best possible protection to the independent business owners on our high streets. Choose from: employers’ liability cover – a legal requirement if you have employees, casual workers or volunteers who are not close family members; protection for your premises, stock, cash and goods in transit; public liability cover to protect yourself if a claim is made against you; and business interruption cover to minimise your loss and costs of disruption in the event of the unexpected.

Are you looking for bookshop insurance, butchers insurance, grocers insurance, hairdressers insurance, opticians insurance, newsagents insurance or insurance for another type of retail trade? Find out more about how The Retail Mutual offers protection for your business with an alternative to business insurance.

Lots of our members now have multiple policies, myself included. Why would I want to go elsewhere?
