Business Interruption & Loss of Profit Insurance
Brief Description
From a burst pipe to mechanical failure, there are numerous risks that could affect your business. Business
Interruption insurance is designed to protect the turnover of your company following an event that results in
a loss. It allows you to focus on getting your business back on its feet by maintaining your cash flow. Loss
of Profits policy is intended to cover loss of “Gross Profit” following material damage as a result of fire,
lightning, Storm, hurricane, earthquake, volcanic eruption, flood, impact damage, etc. (or other insured peril)
at your premises.
This policy operates only when there is an admissible claim under the property material damage policy. Subject
to certain limitations, this includes additional expenditure which is incurred for the sole purpose of avoiding
or reducing a reduction in turnover.
What It Covers ?
In simplest terms the business interruption policy is designed to restore the business to the same financial
position as if the loss had not occurred.
To obtain Loss of Profits, it is always essential that you have a Material Damage policy in force, covering your
premises for the same period.
The interruption period starts from the date of the loss and extends to when the business’s turnover and profit
levels are back to where they would have been but for the loss. There is a limit set on this interruption period
and termed as the ‘Indemnity Period’ which is chosen when the cover is taken out and is recorded in months.
These are the general exclusions that apply to all Sections of this policy. In addition, there are
specific exclusions which apply to each Section of this policy in which they are set out.
- War and Terrorism This policy does not insure any death, injury, loss, damage, liability, cost or
expenses of whatever nature directly or indirectly caused by, resulting from, or in connection with,
any of the following regardless of any other contributing cause or event:

suppressing or in any way relating to, the events excluded above

being stolen at any one time. You must ensure adequacy of the sum insured since the insurance will be subject
to the Average Clause and you will not be fully indemnified at the time of loss if the property is under insured.
The correct sum insured should be what you consider to be the highest value at risk at any one time.

stolen at the same time. The sum insured shall be based on your assessment.
