Business insurance
Insurance for Trade Suppliers
A trade supplies business carries everyday risk across the counter and warehouse. Customers and trade buyers move through the store, stock is lifted and racked, forklifts work the warehouse, and you may be selling tools and gear that carry their own liability. Public liability covers injury and property damage on site, while contents and stock cover protects the considerable value of inventory from fire, water and theft. Add commercial vehicle cover if you deliver, and workers' compensation for counter and warehouse staff. With many policies renewing around 30 June, review your cover before the new financial year.
Common questions
Trade Suppliers — insurance questions
Is my full stock value covered against theft and fire?
Only if your contents and stock sum insured reflects what is actually on the shelves and in the warehouse. Trade stock value across hundreds of lines adds up, so review your sum insured at renewal rather than carrying an old figure.
When should I review my premium?
Many policies renew around 30 June, so review in May or June. Cockatoo can help match you to a broker who understands retail and warehousing risk rather than treating a trade supplier like a generic shopfront.
