Business Interruption

Business Interruption Insurance

Business Interruption Insurance protects the cash flow and profits of a business. The goal is to restore the insured to the same financial position they would have been in if the loss had not occurred. This insurance covers the loss of earning power resulting from damage or destruction to capital assets or stock. Essentially, it protects the business operations of the insured.

Types of Expenses Covered

  • Variable Charges: These expenses fluctuate in proportion to the volume of business.
  • Standing Charges: These are fixed expenses that remain constant regardless of the business volume.

During a business interruption due to a covered peril:

  • Variable charges may not be incurred or may decrease in line with the reduced turnover.
  • Raw materials are either not used or used in proportion to the maintained turnover.
  • The liability for standing charges continues, leading to reduced profits or losses.
  • Net profit decreases in proportion to the reduction in turnover.
  • Additional expenses may be necessary to prevent a complete business stoppage.
  • Fire Consequential Loss

    A fire consequential loss policy covers expenses and increased costs of working due to business interruption following a fire loss covered under fire insurance. Claims under this policy are payable only if liability under the material damage policy is established.

    Machinery Breakdown Loss of Profit

    Machinery Breakdown Loss of Profit insurance covers profit loss due to reduced turnover arising from business interruption following damage to insured machinery. This type of insurance can only be obtained in conjunction with a Machinery Breakdown policy.

    Delay in Startup (DSU) / Advanced Loss of Profit

    Delays in starting a project can result in immediate revenue loss. Contracts between financiers, principals, and contractors often include strict conditions regarding delays in project completion. To ensure commercial viability, principals need to generate revenue as scheduled.

    Delay in Startup Insurance (also known as Advanced Loss of Profits Insurance) provides comprehensive coverage for such contingencies. It is advisable to opt for DSU as an extension when choosing Storage Cum Erection Insurance or Marine Cum Erection Insurance. This extension offers broad protection to mitigate the financial impact of project delays.
