Smart, efficient cover for antique dealers

No matter how careful you are as an antique dealer, accidents always seem to happen, and if you’re unlucky, these accidents can develop into full-blown disasters that could possibly ruin your business. Therefore, it is essential that, whether you operate from home, in a shop, or at an auction house, the necessary precautions are taken so that your business doesn’t suffer.

If a customer slips or trips in your shop they may blame you for any resulting injury and decide to make a compensation claim against your business. There is also the chance that, since your establishment is full of expensive items, you will be a prime target for thieves. You will need the correct cover to protect your loss of income if any goods are stolen or if another misfortune happens, like a fire or extreme weather conditions damaging your place of work, that will put a halt to your business.

When you and your stock are on the move – a likely possibility if you regularly sell at fairs and exhibitions – you need to be extra careful. As someone who handles precious antiques on a daily basis, you won’t need us to tell you how heartbreaking a chip on a centuries-old artefact or the sound of breaking glass can be as you pack goods for a client. If valuables are damaged while in transit, you will need to have stock cover and goods in transit insurance so that it will be easier for you to recoup any financial losses.

When these interferences happen, whether they’re legal action taken against your company by someone else or an event that puts a halt to your operation, they can have a severely detrimental effect on your income – unless, of course, you have solid business insurance.
