Why Transit INSURANCE is Important for Shop Owners?

As we all know, whether it’s life or business everything is covered by Insurance, just to save guard our life and business.

The insurance company mitigates our losses.

Every business must have a Transit Insurance, fire and theft insurance just to cover the uncertainties of nature and accidents.

As the whole country is under lockdown due to attack of COVID-19, resulting in heightened chances of theft – just to save guard our interest and minimizing losses just by paying a little premium to the insurance company which will take care of our goods and shops if any miscreant attacks our office or shop.

The transit insurance is much cheaper as compared to losses which we would make without any insurance.

For e.g. Cover of around Rs.50 Lacs we just need to pay the premium of Rs.2950/- which is cheaper than the loss we would make without insurance.

So it is advisable to buy insurance to save ourselves from unavoidable and unforeseen situations.
