Who needs this cover?

High-street florists, flower-and-gift retailers and shops with chilled stock dependence.

What does it usually cover?

Stock insurance, public liability, employers' liability and business interruption.

How much does it cost?

Cost depends on stock levels, refrigeration reliance, location and seasonal trading profile.

What is not usually covered?

Losses can be limited where stock peaks are undeclared or interruption periods are insufficient.

Key risks

Core protection usually includes stock insurance for shops and business interruption insurance for shops where perishable stock is central to sales.

  • Short-life stock
  • Refrigeration dependency
  • Seasonal trading peaks
