Business Interruption Claims

Business Interruption Claim Examples

These business interruption scenarios show how one physical loss can quickly turn into downtime, repair costs and lost revenue.

  • Flood closing leisure centre

    Lost income and cancellation pressure

    Flooding forces the site to close, stopping bookings, memberships and class income while repairs are completed.

  • Fire damage to gym

    Trading interruption and revenue loss

    Fire damage closes a gym floor and related areas, leaving the operator without normal trading income during reinstatement.

  • Equipment failure stopping operations

    Operational downtime and lost revenue

    A serious equipment or plant failure stops part of the venue operating, creating lost income while the business waits for repair or replacement.

How interruption exposure is assessed

Insurers usually look at turnover, dependency on one site, recovery time and how many income streams would stop after an insured event.

  • How much turnover depends on one site.
  • How quickly the venue could reopen after damage.
  • Number of income streams affected by closure.
  • Past interruption or premises-loss history.
