Frequently Asked Questions
What types of insurance should retail businesses consider other than theft?
Retail businesses should consider a comprehensive insurance strategy that includes cyber insurance to protect against data breaches and hacking attempts, and business interruption insurance to cover lost income during temporary closures due to covered perils (such as fire).
Can retail stores get insurance coverage for internal employee theft?
Yes. While public shoplifting makes the headlines, data shows internal issues (like employee cash and inventory shortages) actually account for a major portion of retail losses.
Adding Commercial Crime Coverage to your package safeguards your business against fraudulent employee activity, protecting your hard-earned cash flow and stock.
Why is retail theft insurance becoming more critical for Canadian store owners?
