Business Interruption
If, due to a defined insured event you cannot continue to trade as usual, your business income may cease – or be decreased for a period. There may still be loan repayments to make, employees to pay, and key customer accounts to manage. Adding cover for Business Interruption may help offset the losses to your business during this time and help get you back on track.
In the event of a defined insured event, with Business Interruption cover, your business can be covered for loss of gross revenue, and increased expenses incurred to avoid the reduction in revenue, during the affected period, including (where noted on your schedule) such costs as:
- Business Income Protection – shortfall in weekly income (not available online – please call 131 846 for a quote);
- Consequential Loss of Profits – loss of gross profit due to the reduction in turnover and the increased cost of working (not available online – please call 131 846 for a quote); or
- Business Continuity – shortfall in business turnover.
