Congratulations on your new store! Running a new business is exciting. You've also probably put a lot of money in starting your clothing store, so make sure you protect it with the proper coverage.

Here's a list of the essential covers you'll need for your clothing store:

  1. commercial property insurance: Protects your shop against fire, water damage, burglary, and more.
  2. Public liability insurance: Protects you against liability for injuries or property damage to third-parties. For instance, you can be held liable if a customer slips and falls in your store. While performing renovations, you can also be held liable for property damage you cause to neighbouring stores.
  3. WICA insurance (work injury compensation insurance): Protects your employees from work-related injuries and sickness, including Covid-19 infections.

4. Fidelity guarantee insurance: Protects your business against employee theft. For instance, if your employees steal money from the cash register, or steal inventory, you'll be covered.

Here's a comprehensive guide on retail shop insurance.
