Fishing Tackle & Equipment Shop Insurance

At James Hallam, we can help you protect your fishing tackle and equipment shop with specialist insurance that will safeguard your stock, your equipment, your premises, and your customers.

Why fishing shops need insurance

Tailored insurance can cover you for the unique risks associated with running a fishing shop.

Key risks for fishing shops include:

  • A customer could slip, trip, or fall while visiting your premises, resulting in injuries and damage to your stock and their property.
  • Thieves could target your shop, not only causing losses due to theft, but also damaging your property while breaking in.
  • An employee could injure themselves while on the job, such as through accidentally cutting themselves while handling a fishing hook or line.
  • A fire or a flood could damage your premises, along with any stock in storage.

Any one of these incidents could lead to significant financial losses. If a customer, an employee, or another member of the public chooses to make a claim against you, you could be liable for legal fees and compensation payments.

This is why fishing shops need insurance. Bespoke fishing shop insurance would cover you for all of these incidents, and more, giving you essential peace of mind that you would be able to recover from any setback.

We are here to help you.

What insurance do fishing tackle and equipment shops need?

To help cover you for these risks, fishing tackle and equipment shops need:

  • Employer’s Liability Insurance – This is the only form of cover that you are required to have in place, by law. This will cover your employees for any accidents or injuries they sustain on the job.
  • Public Liability Insurance – This will cover members of the public, including customers, delivery drivers, or contractors, for any accidents or injuries they may experience while visiting your premises.
  • Contents Insurance – This will cover your stock, your equipment, and your fishing shop’s fixtures and fittings, for any loss or damage as a result of fire, flood, theft, or other incidents.
  • Buildings Insurance – This will cover your fishing shop premises for any damages from fire, flood, break-ins, or other unexpected events.
  • Business Interruption Insurance – If you need to temporarily close your store while you recover from a setback, then business interruption insurance can cover your overheads for the period of cover specified in your policy.

How much is insurance for fishing shops?

The amount you pay for your fishing shop insurance will depend on a number of factors, including your location, the size of your store, the number of employees you hire, and the level of cover you need.
