Frequently Asked Questions
What does Tobacconist Insurance cover?
Tobacconist Insurance typically covers damage to the building structure, fixtures and fittings, stock protection, and optional extras like glass breakage or loss of rent. It can also include protection against fire, theft, vandalism, and certain natural disasters.
Is Tobacconist Insurance legally required?
While Tobacconist Insurance itself may not be legally required, certain components—such as Public Liability Insurance or Workers’ Compensation—may be mandatory depending on your business operations and location.
How much coverage does my tobacconist shop need?
The amount of coverage depends on your shop’s size, location, stock value, and the level of risk. A tailored policy can ensure you’re not underinsured or overpaying for unnecessary coverage.
