What Does Insurance for Newsagents Offer?
As a local newsagent, you come to rely on the local community for your income, stocking last-minute buys, impulse purchases and life’s essentials for locals to enjoy. However, keeping your doors open through the day and often into the night isn’t without risk. You may wish to take out newsagents’ insurance to minimise this risk and protect your community and your business.
An Alternative to Newsagents Insurance
At The Retail Mutual, we understand that your business is constantly evolving to meet the needs of your customers. We also know that when you are looking for newsagents’ insurance for your paper shop, our flexible alternative to traditional newsagents’ insurance must meet your requirements. That’s why we believe in taking a consultative approach to quoting for your business cover, offering an alternative to newsagents’ insurance for independent retailers on the high street. By listening to your needs, we can tailor the ideal cover to match.
When running a newsagent, customers frequently enter and leave your store. If a customer has an accident whilst shopping in your newsagent, they may decide to make a claim. This can have huge financial implications on your business, and whether you’re at fault or not, legal costs can mount up fast. That’s why many newsagents opt for newsagents’ insurance or a similar protection plan to help you cover these costs.
Whatever your business, it’s important that you have the right cover in place. Local shops are prime targets for ram raids and other types of violent crime that can cause significant damage to your premises, so it’s important that you have a flexible protection plan in place that is suitable for your type of business and will safeguard you in these circumstances. Theft and shoplifting are also common, and we understand how difficult it can be to lose your hard-earned assets. The Retail Mutual offers an alternative to traditional newsagents’ insurance that provides you with plenty of options to keep your business safe.

The Retail Mutual offers a wide range of cover options for your newsagents’. Here are some examples of what we offer:
- Stock and Contents Cover – This is one of the most important cover types for your business. Stock and Contents Cover can compensate you for loss or damage to the items in your shop. From drinks, newspapers and refrigerated produce through to the fridges themselves, these items can all be protected.
- Buildings Cover – If you own your newsagents’ premises, Buildings Cover can provide you with financial assistance should your physical building become damaged. This includes your walls, floor, ceilings, roofs, windows and more. The costs can be particularly high in instances of flooding and criminal damage, and Buildings Cover can help cover these costs. You may also prefer to add cover for fixtures and fittings (e.g. shelving and display units). The Retail Mutual offer up to £5 million cover.
- Public Liability Cover – Public Liability Cover is one of the most vital cover types for your newsagents. In the event that a customer suffers illness or injury in your newsagents’, such as a slip, trip or fall, the customer may choose to make a claim against you. Our Public Liability Cover offers up to £5 million of cover should a customer claim for compensation.
- Employers’ Liability Cover – Whilst employees are at work, you are responsible for their safety. Employers’ Liability Cover helps protect both you and your employees should they become ill or injured at your premises. Regardless of whether your staff are part-time, full-time, permanent or temporary, it is likely that having Employers’ Liability Cover is a legal requirement. The Retail Mutual offer up to £10 million of protection.
- Business Interruption Cover – If an incident occurs that damages your newsagents’ like a flood, fire or theft, Business Interruption Cover helps keep your business afloat until it is back up and running. For example, if you experience property damage, you’ll need time and money to make repairs, but it can also help with payments such as staff wages and overhead costs. We offer up to £500k as standard.
