Shop insurance in Coventry
Coventry retail runs from the city-centre and Lower Precinct to the retail parks and neighbourhood parades — and shop insurance has to fit the city unit and the parade shop. Stock, flood and business interruption are the exposures that recur.
Where the risks come from for Coventry shops
City-centre and parade units carry footfall, theft and glass exposure, and ground-floor premises carry flood and surface-water risk where drainage is pressed. Dense buildings share fire and escape-of-water risk. Business interruption bites when a flood or fire closes a unit, and money and seasonal stock add to it.
A Coventry example
Surface water floods a ground-floor Coventry shop after heavy rain, ruining stock at floor level and closing the unit while it dries out and is refitted. Shop insurance meets the damaged stock and contents and the trading lost during the closure — the flood-and-interruption exposure a ground-floor shop carries.
What shop insurance covers
A shop policy covers stock and contents against fire, theft, flood and accidental damage; business interruption for the income a closure costs; public and products liability for customer injury; employers' liability for staff, required by law; and usually money and glass. Buildings cover applies where the premises are yours to insure.
