Overview of Retail Insurance
The retail industry encompasses businesses that sell goods directly to consumers for personal or household use. Retail stores can range from small family-owned shops to large multinational chains. Typical examples include clothing stores, electronics shops, grocery stores, and specialty boutiques. Retail businesses often operate out of physical locations but can also include e-commerce platforms that sell products online.
Retailers play a crucial role in the economy by providing consumers with access to a wide range of products and services. They also contribute significantly to employment, with retail positions ranging from sales associates to management roles. If your business involves selling goods directly to consumers, whether through a brick-and-mortar store, an online platform, or both, you are part of the retail industry.
