Business interruption is the loss of income due to an unexpected event that forces a business to shut down temporarily, and it can have a significant impact on your company's bottom line.
According to a 2018 Allianz survey across 80 countries, business interruption tops the list of global risks, with almost 50% of respondents naming it as the number 1 risk.
Whether it’s the result of a fire, flood, storm, a machinery breakdown, or even a cyber incident, a business interruption policy can help make sure your business keeps running smoothly. It protects your cashflow during a temporary crisis, ultimately allowing you to reset, recover and rebuild.
Take for example a recent restaurant fire, which destroyed the kitchen area of the property. Whilst the property was covered, the 8 weeks that it took to rebuild the kitchen meant a lost income stream of $100,000. Fortunately, the restaurant had an adequate Business Interruption policy in place, meaning they could cover their fixed costs whilst the damage was repaired.
