What is...

newsagent insurance?

When you’re helping customers buy convenience goods or pick up and send parcels, business insurance is probably the last thing on your mind. But if have a busy store with employees and customers coming and going daily, then you still need to think about insurance. 

You could suffer a break-in and valuable stock is stolen, or next door could break your window while having some building work carried out, unfortunately, the risks really are endless. That’s why it’s best to have your back covered should the worst ever happen. 

Insurance for newsagents helps provide a financial safety net, protects against unforeseen events and gives you peace of mind so you can focus on what really matters - running your small business. 

Why do newsagents need insurance?

As a newsagents owner, you‘re probably aware of the risks of thieves in your store, but have you ever had a customer injure themselves? Or worse, a fire break out? For example: 

  • You could suffer a break-in, resulting in damages and theft of valuable goods or cash
  • Your newsagent’s has a burst pipe which causes extensive water damage, 
  • An employee could injure themselves while carrying out work for you
  • If you have one or more employees (who are not immediate family members), you must have employers’ liability insurance by law  

You could end up paying out of your own pocket if someone makes a claim against your business and you don’t have the right cover.
