The Business Insurance Bureau

We're all at our wit's end about Retail...

One shop or one thousand shops. It's all about overheads.

Will the 7 crushing costs of High Street Hell kill the Wit's End Clothing Company?

It’s tough being a shopkeeper, in a Nation of online shoppers…

Well, Black Friday, Cyber Monday, Christmas and the January Sales are well and truly over, taking Toys R Us and Maplin with them.

But will the retail meltdown take the Wit’s End Clothing Company with it too? Or maybe even you?

Yet another round of restructuring and store closures for some, and for others, store openings: trying to get the mix of ‘brick to click’ and ‘click to brick’ round the right way. Is the shop a billboard for the website or the website a billboard for the shop?

Video didn't kill the radio star, in fact...

There are plenty of retailers out there who are doing just fine. Under the microscope we’d find they share one thing in common: they are overtly cost conscious – they kill overhead.

There’s maybe not much you can do about:

  • squeezed incomes
  • online shopping
  • rising business rates
  • pensions
  • exchange rates
  • the living wage
  • debt repayments…

But looking at the price tag, plainly the Wits’ End Clothing Company has got a problem with these costs…Maybe you have too? 

There are four GREAT INDISPUTABLY UGLY TRUTHS about business insurance

We can work wonders on one of your biggest costs – business insurance.  Firstly we recognise the four great, indisputably ugly truths about business insurance:

1.   Insurance companies dispute 50%*of all large claims from businesses.

2.  They do this for two reasons:

     a. breach of policy conditions (which you’ve never read or remembered)

     b. inadequate information disclosure (like if you forgot to tell them about the live entertainment)

3.   It takes on average three years to resolve a large disputed insurance claimǂ (if you can resolve it). Meanwhile, without cash flow, your business goes into administration.

4.  This is why 43%* of all businesses experiencing a disaster never recover – not because they have experienced a disaster, but because their insurance is a disaster!
