Retail & Wholesale

 

The retail and wholesale industry is a broad sector that encompasses any business that sells goods to consumers or other businesses. The wholesale industry tends to be more specialized, and mostly only sells to other businesses rather than an individual customer. Retail sells goods to consumers and tends to provide a wide range of goods.

 

Common insurance policies within the industry include:

  • Buildings and contents insurance: This policy covers the cost of repairs or replacements if a building or its contents are damaged or destroyed.
  • Goods in transit insurance: This policy covers the cost of goods that are damaged or lost while in transit.
  • Motor fleet insurance: This policy covers the cost of repairs or replacements if a vehicle is damaged or stolen.
  • Public and employers' liability insurance: This policy covers the cost of damages or injuries that are caused to third parties by the business or its employees.
  • Cyber insurance: This policy covers the cost of damages or losses that are caused by a cyber attack.

There are also more specialized policies that can help cover product recall, as well as frozen or chilled stock.

 

E-commerce has become a major force within the industry, encompassing 28% of all sales in the last couple years. Because of the rise in e-commerce, and the undeniable importance of online retail post-pandemic, the need for cyber insurance has also dramatically increased. Independent stores are particularly at risk due to the general lack of cyber security, with Visa estimating that 95% of the credit card breaches reported were targeted at their smallest business customers, so it is even more imperative for smaller businesses to ensure they are fully protected.

If you are a business in the retail or wholesale industry, it is important to have adequate insurance coverage to protect your business from the risks that you face. Konsileo is a leading insurance broker that specializes in providing insurance solutions for businesses in the retail and wholesale industry. Konsileo can help you to identify your risks and select the right insurance policies to protect your business.

Despite these challenges, the motor trade is expected to continue to grow in the coming years.

 

This growth will be driven by a number of factors, including:
