Can you insure the improvements you make to your takeaway shop?
Yes, if rented, we can insure most improvements that you make with the landlord’s permission to your shop. These improvements can be permanent or temporary, including fixtures, alterations, installations or any other additions that improve the premises. The landlord’s insurance policy won’t pay for the cost to reinstate the improvements as a result of a claim as they belong to you. For example we can help you insure against loss or damage to your improvements if you install a new display, signage or counter.

How it Works
Examples of Takeaway Shop Insurance in Action
Taking away £5,000
Walking into a takeaway restaurant, a customer trips on a poorly laid welcome mat, resulting in them losing a tooth. This injury results in expensive private dental treatment for a crown replacement, at which point the customer chooses to take legal action against the takeaway for the cost of his new tooth as well as compensation for other medical costs and legal fees. The takeaway’s public liability insurance covers the costs for the property, resulting in no loss.
