What needs to be included on a Wine Wholesalers Insurance policy?
As a wine merchant, there are a number of things that need careful consideration when arranging a policy. Of course, you’ll need a range of covers that are common to other businesses across a range of sectors, but firstly you need to think about the specific, unique covers that you’re likely to rely on at some point in your business life.
Wine Wholesalers stock insurance
While every business ought to have stock insurance in place, its particularly important to get the right kind of cover in place as a wine merchant. You’re in the unusual position of having stock whose value may fluctuate significantly. For that reason, cover needs to be taken out that recognizes the value of your wines and spirits at the time of loss rather that at cost price.
Marine Cargo Insurance for Wine Merchants
You face very specific risks when importing wines and spirits – for example, stained labels which may affect the value of an entire shipment.
What else should a Wine Wholesaler consider when buying business insurance?
As already stated, there are a range of general business covers that may well be requirements for you as a wine wholesaler. These include, but are not limited to:
- Public Liability Insurance
- Employers Liability Insurance
- D&O
- Business Interruption cover
- Commercial Premises and contents
- Cyber Liability
