INSURANCE PROTECTION WHEN YOUR FLORIST BUSINESS IS CLOSED
Florists may temporarily close their premises for many reasons - refurbishment, shop refits, relocation, seasonal shutdowns or unexpected repairs. During closure, insurance risks can change significantly, and standard policies may not provide adequate protection unless insurers are informed.
Temporary Closure & Refurbishment Insurance ensures your florist business remains protected while trading is paused or building work is underway. Insure24 helps florists arrange cover that reflects reduced occupancy, increased theft risk and refurbishment-related exposures.

- Fire, flood and escape of water during closure
- Theft, vandalism and malicious damage risks
- Damage during refurbishment or shop fitting
- Protection for fixtures, fittings and equipment
