Take A New Look At Opticians Insurance
What does opticians insurance offer?
Running an optician service involves offering a lot of care and attention to your customers. They need you to be knowledgeable, reassuring and most importantly they need to feel safe during their treatment. Many businesses choose to take out opticians insurance that fits with their vision in order to protect their employees and customers. This provides all stakeholders with much-needed peace of mind that their interests are protected.
An alternative to opticians insurance
That’s where we can help. The Retail Mutual offers an alternative to opticians’ insurance, dedicated to helping the busy independent retailers on our high streets. Our experienced team will listen to your needs and present you with a range of business cover options to protect you, your business, your staff and your customers against the unexpected. We offer a tailored and flexible protection plan to suit your individual opticians store.
When looking after someone’s visual health, you’re put in a position of great responsibility. Despite high levels of training and all precautions in place, some accidents are unavoidable. If a customer slips in your store or an employee trips over a piece of your equipment, they may choose to make a claim against you. Without a protection plan or opticians insurance in place, your business may face huge financial consequences.
Running a successful opticians shop also requires an abundance of equipment which can be very expensive. If this was damaged by events outside of your control, the cost of replacement equipment could be very significant to a small business, causing huge cash flow problems or even permanent closure of your store. At The Retail Mutual, we offer an alternative to opticians insurance, with flexible options that can help your business get back on its feet.

We offer a variety of opticians cover options. Here is an example of what we do:
- Employers’ liability cover – Regardless of whether you have receptionists, technicians or optometrists, you are responsible for their safety at work. Our Employers’ Liability Cover offers up to £10 million in protection, backed by an insurance policy to meet your legal obligations.
- Stock and contents cover – You are a business that relies heavily on your equipment and tools, and without these, you’re unable to operate. This type of cover compensates you for loss or damage to your equipment due to events like flooding, fire and theft.
- Business interruption cover – Business interruption cover can be used alongside other cover types to help your business get back on its feet. If you experience a flood, for example, you’ll need to make repairs as quickly as possible in order to reopen. Business interruption cover may pay for overheads, interim payments and even staff wages. The Retail Mutual offers cover up to £500k as standard with higher limits available upon request.
- Public liability cover – Your business interacts with the general public on a daily basis. This type of cover protects you if a customer or member of the public brings a claim against you for an injury suffered on your premises or damage to their property. The Retail Mutual offers cover up to £5 million.
- Buildings cover – If you own your opticians shop premises, you may need buildings cover to protect your bricks and mortar. Incidents such as fire can cause significant damage to your property. Buildings cover may protect your physical property, including your walls, ceilings and windows. If you don’t own the building but as the business you make changes to the fixtures and fittings, additional cover can be purchased if you wish.
