Business insurance for clothes shops

Why do I need insurance for my clothes shop?

Clothes maketh the man. Whether you’ve fashioned a high-end destination store, bridal boutique, vintage emporium, or kiddies clothing empire, style is your stock-in-trade – and it’s important to protect it.

But it goes deeper than looks. As a shop owner, you’re responsible for the safety of every customer who enters your shop and every assistant who works for you. If someone’s injured and you’re found to be at fault, would you be able to afford the compensation and legal fees alone? Or if there’s a break-in and someone makes off with your new season stock?¹ That’s where we come in.
