Due to the complex risks faced by businesses in the retail sector, securing comprehensive insurance can be challenging. That is where Specialist Risk can help. Our expert team combine over 30 years of experience in crafting bespoke insurance programmes for all types and sizes of retail businesses.

As a specialist retail insurance broker, we fully consider emerging risks such as terrorism. Covers such as Non-Damage Business Interruption and Loss of Attraction are vital to protect your brand and any monetary losses suffered due to terrorism.

Furthermore, we factor in other external risks such as increased competition, potential economic shutdowns and the ever-evolving regulatory landscape. Although it can be tempting to purchase standard commercial insurance, you could be exposing your business to losses during an unexpected event that leads to making a claim.

RETAIL CASE STUDY

We were first introduced to Miles Smith in 2014 by our financiers. Miles Smith, now known as Specialist Risk Insurance Solutions,  were able to demonstrate that they could streamline our Insurances and in so doing, reduce our premiums considerably. We therefore transferred to them mid-term and immediate savings were negotiated with the holdings Insurers. Improvements in cover were also added immediately, including a contract works limit to allow us to refurb stores up to an agreed limit, without having to refer back to Insurers.
