FAQ Business interruption insurance
What’s the difference between business interruption insurance and inventory and goods insurance, or building insurance?
With inventory and goods insurance or building insurance, you insure the direct damage to your inventory, stock, or building. These insurances cover material damage, for example, due to fire or burglary.
Business interruption insurance covers the indirect damage: the potential lost gross profit when your business must be shut down, and you earn less or no income.
