Service Details
Business Interruption (BI) Insurance is an essential coverage designed to help businesses manage the financial impact of a temporary shutdown or disruption caused by unforeseen events. It covers perils such as fire, flood, explosion, or other disasters that may halt business operations.
This policy typically compensates for the loss of revenue during the interruption period, ongoing fixed expenses such as rent and utilities, wages for employees, and additional costs incurred to operate from a temporary location. The benefits of BI Insurance are significant — it ensures financial stability, protects cash flow, and supports business continuity during challenging times, helping organizations recover faster and more efficiently.
Frequently Asked Question

A: The indemnity period — the time during which the insurer compensates for income loss — is chosen by the business owner when purchasing the policy. It typically ranges from 6 to 24 months, depending on how long it might take to restore normal operations.
