This article examines the role of commercial insurance for ethnic minority businesses located in the inner city. It is based on research in three major cities. Since 1981, insurance premiums have risen dramatically for many retailers, especially those operating in areas where civil disorders occurred. Some insurance companies have also refused insurance by operating ‘redlining’ policies. The negative impact of these strategies on ethnic business is examined and proposals advanced for ameliorating the position
