Music Shop Insurance with Howden
With the digital age in full motion and rapidly evolving everyday, the role of the music shop has changed with it. For years across the UK we’ve seen a decline in the number of music shops, but more recently, they seem to be making somewhat of a comeback. Either way though, the need to make sure music shops are properly covered and protected is still very important to us.
Courtesy of the brilliant specialist insurers we work with, our team is able to help our clients find different music shop insurance policy options, all of which are primarily designed to protect music retailers and their establishments from various risks and liabilities. This type of insurance is crucial for businesses that sell musical instruments, equipment, and related products, as it helps safeguard their assets, finances, and reputation.
Below you can see the various types of cover that can be included in a typical music shop policy:
- Public liability
- Product liability
- Employers liability
- Buildings & contents insurance
- Personal accident insurance
- Stock insurance
We must remind you though that each insurer is different, and what’s offered under each provider’s policy will differ from one another. But that’s where we can help. Once you provide us with all the necessary details we need about you and your business, we can get to work right away and help you find a music shop policy that’s music to your ears.
