Business Interruption
Protect revenue, not only physical assets.
Property damage can stop operations even after the immediate damage is repaired.
Business Interruption insurance can help protect lost gross profit, continuing expenses and increased costs following an insured event.
Overview
Why it matters
A property policy may repair a building or machine — but it does not automatically replace lost income, continuing salaries, rent, loan costs, additional premises, temporary operations or delayed customer orders.
Business Interruption cover is specifically designed to protect the financial consequences of a covered event, not just the physical damage.
Who Needs It
Is this relevant to you?
- Any business where a property loss could halt revenue-generating operations.
- Manufacturers dependent on specific machinery or facilities.
- Retailers dependent on a physical location.
- Businesses with significant fixed costs that continue regardless of trading status.
- Organisations reliant on key suppliers or customers.
Coverage
What Can It Cover
Read Carefully
Key Considerations
- Cover is typically calculated on a gross profit basis — understand how this is defined in your policy.
- The indemnity period (how long cover lasts after the event) needs to genuinely reflect realistic recovery timelines.
- Uninsured working expenses may not be covered even during interruption.
- Dependency risk (damage at a key supplier or customer) requires specific extensions.
- Accurate financial declarations are essential — inaccurate figures can affect a claim.

Triggering Events
Physical Damage : Damage from a fire or other natural disaster, frequently results in physical damage to the covered property, which activates business interruption insurance. The temporary shutdown or interruption of business operations must result from this damage.
