  • What alarm, CCTV and security equipment stock values do you hold?
  • Do you import products or sell own-brand equipment?
  • Do you install, repair, maintain or only retail equipment?
  • What premises security, shutters, CCTV and alarm protections are in place?

Stock, Theft and Premises Security

Products Liability and Advice

Products liability can be important if supplied devices are alleged to be defective. If you provide specifications, system design advice or installation guidance, tell insurers so the policy can be reviewed properly.
