Shop Insurance — Protecting Your Store, Stock & Peace of Mind

Shop Insurance, is designed to protect shops from risks like Fire, Theft, Storms, Riots, Strikes and other accidents. It covers the premises and its contents, including stock, cash, and furniture. Additionally, if a customer (not staff) is injured due to an accident on the premise, the policy provides coverage for that as well.

Coverage — What Does the Policy Help With?

Depending on the plan, your policy may respond to events such as:

  • fire or sudden electrical mishaps that cause burning damage
  • heavy rain, floodwater, cyclones, or similar natural events
  • damage from earthquakes or ground movement
  • vandalism, riots, or strike-related incidents
  • overflowing tanks, burst pipelines, or accidental water leakage
  • accidental explosions or internal pressure failures
  • damage caused by falling trees, vehicles, or objects
  • unexpected sprinkler discharge inside the premises
  • specified man-made incidents, including terrorism (if opted)

The protection generally applies to the shop premises, fixtures, equipment, and stock kept inside.

What Isn’t Usually Covered?

Some situations fall outside coverage, such as:

  • losses linked to war or military action
  • nuclear or radiation-related incidents
  • pollution-driven damage
  • simple disappearance of items without proof
  • makeshift or temporary thatched constructions
  • natural wear, tear, or internal breakdown of machines
  • losses in basements that aren’t separately insured
