Can you afford to lose
Your income?
Your clients?
Your staff?
Your business?

Business interruption insurance can help you get back on your feet in the event of an insured event by allowing you to:
  1. continue operating out of an alternative premises
  2. pay your employees
  3. receive an income until your profit level is up to the amount prior to the loss or the indemnity period expires
  4. pay accountants and investigation fees
  5. receive your rental income
  6. pay necessary costs to get your business up and running again to achieve your current income

An event doesn't have to occur on your premises to affect your business. For example:
  • A supplier that can no longer fulfil their contract with you
  • A major business in the complex you operate may have a fire and therefore your sales decline due to foot traffic
  • The business next door may have storm damage that means no-one can access your premises
  • A public utility may not be able to supply adequately to your premises - ie gas, water, communication
  • Damage to roads, bridges and railway
  • Damage to your trucks or vehicles
  • Stock or materials kept at an off site location
