Retail and wholesale insurance

Specialist insurance strategies designed to protect your business, your people and your supply chain

The right cover - built around your business

Running a retail or wholesale business means managing risk across every part of your operation. This includes the shop floor, the warehouse, your supply chain and your online presence.

Whether you're a high-street retailer, an e-commerce operation or a national distributor, your risk profile is unique. An off-the-shelf policy rarely accounts for that complexity.

Why specialist advice matters

Too many retail and wholesale businesses end up with generic cover that leaves gaps where it matters most, or are paying for protection they don’t need. Managing insurance reactively, or without specialist guidance, can lead to unnecessary cost and avoidable exposure.

NFP takes the time to understand how your business works, where your exposures are and what keeps you up at night. We bring together deep sector knowledge, access to a broad panel of insurers and a hands-on, consultative approach to design insurance solutions that genuinely fit.

We take the time to understand your operation, your premises, your people, your stock and your supply chain. We then build an insurance programme tailored to the risks you actually face. 

Design a programme
that fits

Because we're not tied to any one insurer, we work across the market to secure competitive pricing and broad protection.  Ensuring you're paying for the right level of cover, not more. 

Reduce cost without compromising cover

Our dedicated claims team is with you from the moment an incident occurs, managing the process so you can focus on getting your business back on track. 

Support you when it matters most

As your business grows, diversifies or faces new challenges, we provide ongoing recommendations and face-to-face support to ensure your cover keeps pace. 

Keep your programme evolving

Why specialist support matters

Without the right expertise behind your insurance programme, you risk more than gaps in cover. You risk financial exposure, operational disruption and the inability to recover quickly when things go wrong.  

Without specialist support, you could face:

  • Gaps in your cover that you aren't aware of until it's too late
  • Paying for more protection than you need. Or not enough where it counts
  • A time-consuming, frustrating claims process with no dedicated support
  • Third-party liability claims that threaten your ability to trade
  • Supply chain disruptions that affect your customers and your reputation
  • Cyber incidents and data breaches with no clear recovery plan 

With NFP as your HR and people solutions partner, we help you:

  • Your insurance programme is designed around the specific risks of your business
  • You have access to competitive, market-leading cover
  • You receive dedicated claims support, should you ever need it
  • Your programme evolves alongside your business
  • You have the confidence and oversight to make informed decisions about your risk strategy 

How we support you, from risk assessment to claims

Choosing the right health insurance isn't just about looking at a price tag; it’s about understanding what you are actually covered for. As an independent adviser, NFP works for you, not the insurance providers. 

Risk assessment and design

We get to know your premises, stock, people, logistics and trading model, then design cover around your real exposures, not theoretical risks.

Market access and broking

We use our insurer access and provider relationships to negotiate competitive pricing and comprehensive cover, including package policies and seasonal stock needs.

Claims support and management

When an incident occurs, our dedicated claims team manages the process from start to finish, reducing disruption and helping you get back to business.
