Why a specific insurance for wholesalers and distributors?
Distribution and wholesale companies operate in a complex business environment, exposed to various risks such as inventory damage, late deliveries, civil liability or business interruption. The right insurance helps to preserve the financial stability of the company in the event of unforeseen events.

Essential guarantees for wholesalers and distributors
1. Property and Inventory Insurance
Warehouses and stored goods are a major asset. Commercial property insurance covers:

This warranty covers damage caused to third parties, including:
- Injury or property damage caused by the products distributed.

- Delivery delays have a financial impact on the company.
4. Business interruption insurance
In the event of a major loss affecting operations, this coverage helps compensate for lost revenue and maintain business continuity.

With the increasing digitization of operations, cyber insurance is essential to guard against:
- Computer attacks and data theft.
- Online fraud and service interruptions caused by cyberattacks.
