Shop insurance in Dundee
Dundee retail centres on the Overgate and Wellgate centres and the regenerated waterfront around the V&A. Shop insurance for a Dundee retailer turns on stock, exposed-frontage weather risk and footfall.
Where the risks come from for Dundee shops
City-centre and waterfront units carry footfall, glass and theft exposure, and exposed east-coast frontages carry storm and wind-driven-rain damage risk. Dense buildings share fire and water risk. Waterfront regeneration and events bring footfall peaks, and takings add money exposure.
A Dundee example
An east-coast gale flings rain and debris at a Dundee waterfront frontage, cracking glass and forcing water past the seals into the shop, spoiling stock along one wall. Shop insurance meets the storm and glass damage and the stock and trading it costs — the price an exposed waterfront frontage pays for its view.
What shop insurance covers
Shop cover packages stock and contents (fire, theft, storm, accidental damage), business interruption for the income a closure costs, public and products liability for customer injury, employers' liability for staff by law, and usually money and glass. Where the building is yours to insure, buildings cover is added.
