Any staff you employ in your gadget shop business, whatever their role, mean that you are an employer and must be covered by employers’ liability insurance as a result. If your gadget shop uses vehicles, for example for transporting goods around or if you travel to carry out repairs for your customers, you must cover these with the legally required motor insurance.
A gadget shop of course holds lots of high value items within it, so choosing a buildings and contents policy that covers your stock is a vital measure in protecting the substantial investments you have made in it. You should also ensure that any buildings and contents insurance you purchase covers any equipment you use, such as computing repair tools, computers and cash registers. If you transport gadgets around as part of the business, it’s definitely worth considering goods in transit cover as well, for if there’s a crash or incident that wipes out a chunk of your stock that could have a significant impact on the business.
All shops are subject to circumstances that prevent them from opening for set periods of time, whether something happens in the surrounding area or within the unit itself. Having business interruption insurance can be an essential asset in situations like this.
