Insurance overview
Whatever you sell, we've got you covered with our Retailer Insurance.
We provide insurance for shops selling a wide range of goods, from florists to furniture stores, hairdressers and haberdashery. With shop insurance from us, we can help you to be protected against the challenges your retail business can face - from the damage to stock you sell and the building you trade out of, to the safety of your staff.
With NFU Mutual business insurance, you can tailor your cover to meet the needs of you and your business. Plus, with the option to pay by direct debit at no extra cost and no fees should you make any changes it provides the flexibility we believe retailers need.
