How to get spaza shop insurance
For many traders, the idea of spaza shop insurance has always felt out of reach: too expensive, too complicated or just not designed for their business. The result is that when the unexpected happens, shop owners are left carrying the full cost alone. Yet these shops are more than small businesses. They represent a family’s income and a cornerstone of the community, making affordable, accessible cover such an important factor.
Protect what you’ve built
Spaza shop insurance is not about expecting the worst; it’s about creating a powerful safety net. A small, regular contribution is your plan to protect your livelihood and ensures that if something unforeseen happens, you won’t lose everything.
Consider the alternative: losing R30,000 worth of stock could force your doors to close permanently. With the right cover in place, you safeguard your business and continue serving your community, securing the value and peace of mind every spaza owner deserves.
Affordable spaza shop insurance designed for you
The challenge for many small businesses has always been access. That’s why Shop2Shop added insurance for spaza shops as an optional benefit available to Premium Members.
For as little as R20 a week, you become a Shop2Shop Premium Member which gives you:
- Cover up to R500,000 against riots and strikes

Signing up is easy on the Shop2Shop app:
- Open the app and tap on Menu

That’s how simple it is. You’ll be charged a low, weekly premium of only R20 for Premium Membership that includes insurance for your business.
Keep your spaza shop trading no matter what happens
