Grocery Store Insurance

Your produce is central to the running of your business so insuring it against unexpected events and accidents is imperative.

Our flexible approach to tailor-made grocery insurance policies and our ability to cater for “non-standard” risks means that we may still be able to provide a policy to cover your business needs even if your particular circumstances may not be looked on favourably by some insurers.

Business insurance is important no matter what type of grocery store you own; be it a large mini-market or a small village store, as it protects your business against some of the risks and issues you face. Greengrocers, like Cartmell’s Greengrocers in Padiham, Lancashire (picture above), are often at the heart of the high street.

Our insurers may be able to offer cover for:

  • Premises with flat roofs.
  • Risks with high sums insured.
  • New start-up businesses.
  • Proposals that have had large claims (including fire or flood).

Please note we are unable to offer quotations to businesses located in Northern Ireland.

To offer you these insurance options, we use the strength of our market position and our close relationships with the insurers to negotiate the best possible cover and prices we can for our clients.

WHAT DO I DO IF I NEED TO MAKE A CLAIM?

Details on how to make a claim can be found in your policy documentation, however please feel free to contact us on 0330 134 4602 if you have any queries or would like some assistance.

WHAT IF MY INSURANCE REQUIREMENTS CHANGE DURING MY POLICY TERM?

If something about your business or property changes, you may need to amend your policy. We can make the changes over the phone and update your cover as necessary. For example, if you wanted to fit an ATM machine in your shop, you should call us to check how it affects your insurance policy. It is always worth calling to check how changes to your business might affect your cover. Some alterations may increase your risk factors and if you have to make a claim, you might have voided your policy by not informing us of changes.
