Business insurance

Insurance for Gift Shops

A gift shop carries everyday retail risk — customers in your space, valuable stock on shelves, and a shopfront exposed to theft, fire and water damage. Public liability sits at the centre, covering injury to a customer in store, alongside contents and stock cover for your range and fit-out, and glass cover for the shopfront. If you have staff over the busy periods, workers' compensation is required.

Premiums for a small retail shop often sit around the ~$900 mark. With many policies renewing around 30 June, it's worth reviewing your stock values before the new financial year — especially heading into a big buy-in for the Christmas season.

Common questions

Gift Shops — insurance questions

What insurance does a gift shop need?

Public liability for a customer injured in store, contents and stock cover for your range and fit-out, glass cover for the shopfront, and workers' compensation if you employ staff. Together these protect the shop, the stock and the people in it.

Should I increase my stock cover before Christmas?

It's worth checking. Your stock on hand peaks heading into Christmas, so cover set for a quiet month may fall short during the season. Review your sum insured before your big buy-in so a fire or theft at peak doesn't leave you under-covered.
