• Insurance for Furniture Retailers

    Specialist protection for furniture shops, showrooms, and homeware retailers

    Running a furniture retail business means managing valuable stock, overseeing deliveries, and ensuring a safe, enjoyable shopping experience for your customers. Whether you operate a large showroom, an independent furniture shop, or a specialist boutique, you face a unique mix of risks – from accidental damage on the shop floor to stock losses during transport or storage.

    Why do furniture retailers choose Acer Insurance?

    At Acer Insurance, we understand the day-to-day challenges faced by furniture retailers. From high-value items and heavy goods to customer interactions and logistics, every part of your business needs the right level of protection. Our tailored Furniture Retailers Insurance helps safeguard your stock, your premises, your delivery teams, and your financial stability.

    What insurance would I need?

    We offer insurance solutions that reflect the real risks of selling and delivering furniture – protecting everything from your showroom to your warehouse and vehicles.

    • Public Liability Insurance – Protects your business if a customer or visitor is injured or their property is damaged while on your premises – such as tripping over a display, being injured by falling furniture, or sustaining damage during product demonstrations.
    • Employers’ Liability Insurance – A legal requirement if you employ delivery teams, warehouse staff, installers, or sales assistants. Covers claims from employees who suffer injury or illness as a result of their work.
    • Stock & Contents Insurance – Protects furniture and homeware stock against fire, flood, storm damage, theft, or accidental damage. Contents such as fixtures, display units, POS systems, and showroom décor can also be included.
    • Goods in Transit Insurance – Essential for retailers who deliver to customers. This protects furniture while being transported, covering theft, accidental damage, and loss during loading, unloading, or transit.
    • Commercial Vehicle Insurance – Covers delivery vans, transport vehicles, and business-use cars against accidents, damage, and theft.
    • Property Insurance – Protects the building (if owned) and fixtures against fire, flood, storm damage, vandalism, and structural issues.

    Other types of cover you may need to consider:

    • Business Interruption Insurance – If your showroom or warehouse is forced to close due to an insured event, this cover replaces lost income and helps support ongoing expenses until business resumes.
    • Commercial Legal Expenses – Provides legal support for customer disputes, supplier issues, employment matters, tax investigations, contract disputes, or tenancy issues.
    • Cyber Liability Insurance – Ideal for retailers handling online orders or customer details. Protects against data breaches, hacking, online fraud, and ransomware.

    Cover for every type of furniture retailer including:

    • Independent furniture shops
    • Large showrooms
    • Home décor and lifestyle stores
    • Bed and mattress retailers
    • Sofa and upholstery specialists
    • Dining and office furniture shops
    • Furniture warehouses
