Common Questions for Shop Owners

Frequently Asked Questions

Any individual or business that owns or operates a shop can buy this insurance. It is ideal for retailers, wholesalers, traders, and small business owners. Whether you run a small store or a chain of outlets, shop insurance offers tailored protection.

A standard policy covers damage to the building, fixtures, stock, and contents due to fire, burglary, riots, natural disasters, and certain accidental damages. Some policies also include add-ons like money in transit, fidelity guarantee, or breakdown of electronic equipment.

It depends on your ownership. If you rent the shop, insuring contents may be sufficient. If you own the property, it's advisable to opt for a comprehensive policy covering both structure and contents to ensure full protection against potential risks.

Yes, electronic items such as computers, billing machines, or security systems can be covered under contents insurance. Cash stored in the shop can also be covered under specific add-ons. You may need to declare the amount and ensure proper security measures.

Wear and tear, loss due to negligence, deliberate damage, war, and illegal activities are commonly excluded. Damages occurring when the shop is left unlocked or unattended for extended periods may also not be covered. Always review the policy wording carefully.

Yes, if you are a tenant, you can purchase contents-only insurance to protect your stock and business assets. You are not responsible for the structure unless specified in your rental agreement. Landlords may separately insure the building.

The premium depends on the shop’s location, size, nature of business, sum insured for contents and building, and any additional cover selected. Shops in high-risk areas or with valuable stock may have higher premiums, but discounts may apply for safety features.

Claims are usually settled within 7 to 15 business days after the submission of all required documents and the completion of the survey. Upsure coordinates with the insurer to speed up the process and reduce your downtime as much as possible.
