Looking For Supermarket Insurance?
What does supermarket insurance offer?
Local communities rely on your supermarket to provide them with the goods they need. As well as regular customer footfall, you’ll have dedicated staff operating on the shop floor, serving customers and keeping your store clean and ready for use. In order to protect your customers and employees from accidents like slips and falls, and your business assets from events such as shoplifting or ram raids, you will need to take out supermarket insurance or an alternative cover offering.
An alternative to supermarket insurance
The Retail Mutual offers business cover as an alternative to insurance for supermarkets. We aim to work closely with our Members to offer fair, flexible cover options to suit individual businesses’ needs and enable them to trade with peace of mind.
Whether you run a smaller supermarket store with a few employees, or a medium-sized company with upwards of twenty, arranging supermarket insurance or an alternative protection plan is vital in keeping your business, staff and customers safeguarded. As a local store, you’ll be operating for long hours during the day but often throughout the night too.
Supermarkets are often the targets of ram raids and shoplifting, where you could incur significant damage to your premises and loss of stock. Without business cover, your business could suffer large financial losses. You are also responsible for the safety of your customers whilst they’re at your premises and your employees while they are working for you. If someone is injured due to a slip or fall, for example, you may be liable to pay compensation if a claim is made against you.
