Tailored insurance solutions designed to support retail businesses operating across physical stores, e-commerce platforms and multi-channel sales environments.
Retail businesses operate in fast-moving environments where customer experience, inventory management and operational efficiency are closely connected. Specialist Risk Group (SRG) works with retailers to understand their operating models, store networks, and supply chain exposures, enabling us to design insurance programs that reflect the realities of modern retail operations. Through strong insurer relationships and access to global specialty markets, we help retail organisations secure clear, comprehensive protection that supports confident trading.
High transaction volumes, complex supply chains, and evolving consumer expectations create a wide range of operational exposures. Even relatively minor incidents can disrupt trading, impact customer confidence and lead to financial or reputational loss.
Slips, trips, falls, and other incidents involving customers or visitors within retail stores, shopping centres, and customer-facing premises.

Retail businesses often require a combination of Public Liability, Product Liability, Property, Business Interruption, and Workers’ Compensation cover. The exact structure usually depends on the type of products sold, store size, customer footfall, and whether the business operates online as well as in physical locations.
Yes. Retailers that sell products to customers may face claims if a product causes injury, illness or property damage. Product Liability insurance is commonly arranged to address these exposures.
Yes. Property or stock insurance can often cover retail inventory against risks such as fire, theft or accidental damage, depending on the structure of the policy.
Yes. Many retailers now operate across both physical and digital channels. Insurance programs can be structured to reflect e-commerce operations, online sales platforms, and digital payment systems.
Business Interruption cover may help protect income and ongoing operating costs if a retail business is unable to trade following insured property damage, such as fire, storm, or vandalism.
Workers’ Compensation insurance provides protection for employees who suffer injury or illness in the course of their work and is typically a legal requirement for employers in Australia.
Yes. Retailers often rely on point-of-sale systems, online stores, and payment platforms. Cyber incidents such as data breaches, payment fraud, or ransomware attacks can disrupt operations and compromise customer information.
Transit or stock insurance can often cover goods while they are being transported between suppliers, warehouses, and retail locations, helping protect inventory before it reaches the store.
Often, yes. Expanding into additional locations, increasing stock levels, introducing new product lines, or growing online sales can all change a business’s risk profile and may require insurance arrangements to be reviewed.
