Bespoke Packages from Wholesale
Insurance Brokers

At IC Insurance, we understand that wholesale businesses vary in terms of their size, operations and the level of risk they face on a daily basis. That is why we create bespoke wholesale insurance packages that are tailored by insurance experts to fit the needs and coverage requirements of your wholesale business.

Wholesale insurance packages by IC brokers can help you to manage your risks and financially safeguard your wholesale business against a wide spectrum of threats, including lawsuits and property loss.

What is Wholesale Insurance?

Wholesale insurance is designed to protect businesses that distribute products and merchandise against a range of wholesaler liability issues, such as injury claims, product-related lawsuits, robbery and disruptive events.

The wholesale industry is vast and diverse. It incorporates many trades and skillsets. That is why standard wholesale insurance packages often fall short of providing adequate coverage.

We work differently at IC Insurance. Our specialist wholesale insurance brokers collaborate with a panel of top insurers to create bespoke wholesale insurance plans that comprehensively cater to the coverage requirements of your wholesale establishment.

Our key covers include:

Buildings
