Many Convenience Retailers Discover Underinsurance After a Loss
Rising stock costs, increasing fit-out expenses, equipment upgrades and changing turnover can all affect whether your insurance sums insured still reflect the true value of your business.
We’ve seen cases where convenience retailers believed they were adequately insured, only to discover coverage shortfalls following a major claim involving property damage, stock loss, equipment replacement or business interruption.
Regular insurance reviews can help identify potential gaps in:
- Stock and inventory values
- Shop fit-outs and fixtures
- Refrigeration and specialised equipment
- Business interruption and loss of income cover
- Building replacement costs (where applicable)
At Global Insurance Solutions, we help convenience retailers review their insurance arrangements to ensure policy limits remain aligned with their current operations, assets and exposures. You can read more about underinsurance here.
