Why Business Interruption Insurance Matters for Storage Facilities
Storage facilities rely on consistent rental income and customer access. If your premises suffer insured damage - such as fire, flood or major structural failure - your ability to trade may be severely restricted.
Business Interruption Insurance protects your loss of income and ongoing expenses while your storage facility is repaired and returns to normal operating capacity.
What Does Business Interruption Insurance Cover?
- Loss of rental or storage income
- Ongoing fixed costs and overheads
- Additional expenses to continue trading
