Shop insurance in Gloucester
Gloucester retail centres on the Kings Quarter and the regenerated Gloucester Quays outlet at the docks. Shop insurance for a Gloucester retailer turns on stock, theft and footfall.
Where the risks come from for Gloucester shops
City-centre and Quays units carry footfall, glass and theft exposure, and stock draws break-ins out of hours. Low-lying premises near the Severn carry flood risk, and dense buildings share fire and water risk. Outlet and event footfall brings seasonal peaks and takings, adding money exposure.
A Gloucester example
A Gloucester shop is broken into overnight, stock is taken and the entrance is forced and damaged. Shop insurance meets the stock loss, the damage to the premises and the trading interrupted while repairs are made — the out-of-hours theft exposure a stock-holding retailer carries.
What shop insurance covers
A shop policy covers stock and contents against fire, theft, flood and accidental damage; business interruption for lost income; 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.
