A fire, storm, water damage, or technical malfunction can shut down your business for days, weeks, or even months. While your fixed costs continue, your revenue may (partially) disappear. p>With a business interruption insurance policy, you protect the financial continuity of your company after an insured incident. It covers the loss of income and gives you the opportunity to restart your operations.
A business interruption insurance aims to protect your company's operating result during the compensation period when the activities that contribute to your turnover are wholly or partially interrupted by a covered material damage event, such as fire or water damage.
It does not cover the material damage itself, which is included under the fire insurance, but rather the financial impact of the interruption of your activities.
For example, the insurance helps to cover fixed costs, such as wages, rent, and loans, during the restart period.
After an incident, it can often take weeks or months before a company is fully operational again. While business activities come to a halt, many costs continue as usual.
A business interruption insurance policy helps protect your company’s financial continuity during this period. This way, you prevent a temporary interruption from leading to cash flow problems or threatening your company’s continuity.
Depending on the coverages chosen, the insurance can, among other things, provide compensation for:
The loss of gross margin after an insured damage event.
Fixed costs such as wages, rent and repayments.
Additional costs to resume activities more quickly.
The financial impact of a temporary closure.
A business interruption insurance is essential for any company that is financially affected when operations come to a full or partial halt, such as:
Are you dependent on a single location , specific machines, or limited production capacity? Then the risk of income loss due to damage is even greater. Together, we analyze how vulnerable your business is and what coverage is recommended.
The premium of a business interruption insurance policy is determined, among other things, by:
A realistic calculation of your gross profit is crucial. An estimate that is too low may lead to underinsurance and therefore insufficient compensation in the event of damage.
We will guide you through this calculation and ensure a balance between optimal protection and a fair premium.
