All you need to know about retail insurance

Standard policies only sometimes automatically cover online activities. If necessary, check with your insurer and add specific e-commerce coverage, such as cyber-risk insurance.

You can consider increasing your deductibles, implementing additional security measures, regularly training your staff in risk prevention, and consolidating your policies with a single insurer to benefit from discounts.

Essential insurance generally includes commercial property, liability, business interruption and theft insurance. For companies with an online presence, cyber-risk insurance is also crucial.

Adjusting your coverage for peak periods is a good idea. Talk to your insurer about the possibility of flexible coverage that adapts to seasonal fluctuations in your inventory and sales.

Product recall insurance can cover the costs associated with a recall, including notification, transportation, storage and destruction of defective products. It can also cover loss of income and damage to reputation. It's essential to check whether this coverage is included in your policy or needs to be added separately.
