Business Interruption Insurance

Business Interruption Insurance is a key asset to a business often overlooked. It provides cover to protect your business against loss of income due to a temporary interruption in the business.

Rapid resumption of business after a disaster is essential and insurance to help stay afloat is vital. Although a location is temporarily unusable and the business is not producing income, you may still incur fixed costs.

The cover is linked to a property insurance policy or a comprehensive package policy, and is sometimes called Consequential Loss Insurance. Property Insurance will only cover physical loss or damage to the location and its contents, not the loss of income while repairs are carried out. The additional coverage allotted by the Business Interruption Insurance policy covers the income that would have been earned, as the intention is to give a business financial continuity as if the loss had not occurred.

The coverage extends until the end of the business interruption period, which is determined by you, the customer. Most policies define this period as starting on the date of the disaster and lasts until the damaged property is physically repaired and returned to operations under the same conditions that existed prior to the disaster.

The price of the policy is related to risk, and our team of professionals are experienced in this field, and can offer independent and knowledgeable advice.

We have always experienced excellent service from Marsh & Company’s professional staff. The Grand Pier’s insurance requirements are complex and the market is very limited but they have always managed to provide us with the comprehensive cover we require at affordable premiums. Following the devastating fire in July 2008 when we lost the entire Pavilion building and all its contents, Marsh & Company managed the claim process for us, their assistance was invaluable.
