Let’s Begin with the Coverage You Need to Grow Your Business.
Our Excalibur Insurance Brokers will ask a lot of questions – for good reason. The retail industry offers a range of inherent risks, whether your business is an e-commerce website or a physical retail store. The physical conditions of your store, employee actions, product performance and availability, as well as the possibility of data breaches or cyber attack all involve risk regarding profit and success.
You are busy making the decisions around product quality and inventory control, let our team review what elements of your unique retail shop pose risks. Our team is there to ensure you have exactly the coverage you require. Risk management will be critical to the success and growth of your Retail enterprise.
We begin by acknowledging the risks, then prioritizing those in terms of what is most urgent, or likely. Then we’ll develop a plan to manage, mitigate, transfer, accept or even avoid those risks.
Here are a few areas of specialized concern you may want to consider when reviewing your coverage:
- Digital Theft and Data Breach
Digital coverage is a surprisingly overlooked risk. Your business may largely or entirely depend on the orders it receives online. Digital criminals target businesses of all sizes and scopes. Casual phishing scams, hacking into point of sale or targeting e-commerce are all methods that leave you and your customers vulnerable. - Stock or Contents Coverage
Stock is one of your most significant liabilities regarding your retail success. You may protect your inventory well, but that is no guarantee it won’t be stolen, damaged or completely destroyed in a warehouse fire. It pays to have a stock insurance policy to cover the cost of your stock if it is stolen, damaged or destroyed. This valuable coverage can keep your business afloat when your content is compromised. - Liability
You keep your retail space in great shape but can only control so much. When a customer purchases your products, an issue with the product may cause them bodily injury or property damage. For instance, a faulty lamp or an off batch of kombucha could cause physical harm. In contrast, a defective device might cause property damage. When situations occur, you may be found responsible for the damages if the source can be traced back to your business. And then you may find yourself in the middle of a lengthy and costly lawsuit. Liability insurance can help.
These are just a number of the real risks your employees and customers face in the Retail space. To keep your team operating at its best, your Excalibur Commercial Insurance specialist will review coverage options with you.
