What Can Business Goods and Stock in Storage Insurance Cover?

The policy can protect insured commercial contents kept in accepted storage facilities against common storage risks. It is suitable for a wide range of business-owned items and can help businesses satisfy storage facility insurance requirements.

Fire, Smoke And Explosion

Cover can include physical loss of or damage to insured business goods caused by fire, smoke, lightning, explosion and similar insured events.

Theft Following Forcible Entry

Theft cover applies where theft is accompanied by forcible and violent entry to or exit from the building or storage unit, subject to policy terms.

Flood, Storm And Escape Of Water

Cover can include flood, storm damage and escape of water from burst or leaking pipes, helping protect commercial contents against common storage facility risks.

Accidental Damage

Accidental damage is included, making the policy practical for businesses storing office contents, tools, stock, equipment and trade materials.

£2 Million Public Liability Included

Every Business Goods and Stock in Self Storage Insurance policy includes £2 million Public Liability as standard. This can be helpful where your business needs to satisfy storage facility requirements or demonstrate that liability protection is included as part of the storage insurance policy.

Public Liability included within this storage policy is different from wider business Public Liability Insurance. If your business needs liability cover for trading activities away from storage, customer visits, contracting, events or work at client premises, that may need to be considered separately.

Limited Goods in Transit Included

The policy includes limited Goods in Transit cover while insured items are being transported directly to or from the storage facility. This can be useful when moving business stock, tools, office contents, equipment or trade materials into or out of storage.

This limited transit benefit is not the same as a full Goods in Transit Insurance policy for wider business deliveries, courier work, customer transport, trade vehicle stock, regular distribution or multi-drop operations.

Business Storage Uses We Can Cover

Businesses use self storage for many practical reasons. The policy is designed around commercial contents kept in professional storage facilities, not household storage or personal belongings.

Ecommerce Stock Storage

Online sellers can store packaged stock, returns, promotional materials, spare packaging, fulfilment items and seasonal inventory in professional storage units.

Contractor Tool Storage

Builders, electricians, plumbers, engineers and maintenance firms can store tools, materials, parts, work equipment and trade supplies between contracts.

Office Moves And Refurbishments

Office-based businesses can store desks, chairs, IT equipment, files, archive boxes, fixtures and business contents during moves, refits or temporary closures.

Event And Exhibition Storage

Event companies and exhibition businesses can store stands, display materials, promotional stock, signage, small equipment and venue supplies between bookings.

Business Goods Storage Compared With Other Insurance

Business Goods and Stock in Self Storage Insurance protects commercial items while they are stored. It should not be confused with insurance designed for business vehicles, wider business operations, premises ownership or digital risks.

Business Goods In Storage

Protects insured business stock, tools, equipment, office contents and commercial goods while stored in accepted professional self storage facilities.

Goods In Transit Insurance

Protects goods while they are being moved. Businesses with regular deliveries, customer transport or vehicle-based stock may need Goods in Transit Insurance.

Commercial Combined Insurance

Wider Commercial Combined Insurance can protect business premises, stock, contents, liability and trading risks outside the storage unit.

Public Liability And Cyber Insurance

Public Liability Insurance protects wider third-party injury and damage risks, while Cyber Insurance protects digital business risks.

Business Types That Use Storage Insurance

Many businesses use professional self storage as a flexible alternative to larger premises. It can be especially useful for shops, manufacturers, importers and exporters, contractors, office-based businesses, event firms and seasonal businesses.

If stored goods are products supplied by the business, Product Liability Insurance may also be relevant. Businesses with staff should also consider Employers Liability Insurance, and businesses owning commercial premises may need Commercial Property Owners Insurance.
