FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

+-

What is Business Interruption Insurance?

Business interruption insurance covers loss of income and additional costs when an insured event (such as fire, flood or major damage) stops your business from trading normally.

+-

Is business interruption included automatically with property insurance?

Not always. Some policies include it, others require it to be added. It’s important to check your schedule and wording to ensure the right cover and sums insured are in place.

+-

How long should my indemnity period be?

Common indemnity periods are 12, 18, 24 or 36 months. The right length depends on how long it could realistically take to rebuild, replace equipment and win back lost customers after a major claim.

+-

What is the difference between gross profit and gross revenue cover?

Gross profit cover focuses on lost profit after variable costs, while revenue / income cover focuses on total turnover. The best option depends on how your business is structured – our advisers can guide you.

+-

Can business interruption cover supply chain issues?

Yes, cover can often be extended to include damage at key supplier or customer premises, and sometimes utility providers. These are called “contingent business interruption” or “supplier / customer extensions”.
