A major accident at a business premises cannot only destroy the assets but also bring the business to a standstill, leading to loss of gross profit. Depending on the size and nature of business, it can be several months before the business can get back on track. This is usually a period of great financial stress for businesses, as fixed expenses such as rent, remuneration of employees, etc. continue to accrue regardless of the extent of damage and production loss.
Consequential losses to the insured business are specifically excluded under a standard Fire and Special Perils Insurance policy that covers only physical damage to the assets. This is where a Loss of Profit Insurance policy is useful, as it covers the loss of Gross Profit of a business arising from an insured loss under its Fire policy.
The policy covers loss of:
Net Profit + Standing Charges + Expenses incurred necessarily and reasonably to bring the business back on track
A Loss of Profit Policies may carry an excess / deductible expressed in number of days. This indicates the days immediately after the loss, which would not be included while computing the reduction in Gross Profit.
This policy does not provide coverage for:

Cover for motor vehicles and motorcycles is excluded. Please declare your requirements for cover kept in outbuildings at the time of quotation to ensure that the policy provided meets with your requirements.
