Is your business adequately protected?
A business protects it’s assets by purchasing insurance for buildings, stock, contents etc and it’s also important that a company insures the earning capacity of the business. “It is a fact that after a major loss, 50% of businesses do not survive as they do not have the correct policy cover in place, so it is CRITICAL a business get’s this right.”
Business owners depend on CIA to provide advice to protect their business and their lifestyle. With this in mind, it’s our duty to help business owners understand the issues.
Half measures or linking sums insured or cover to keep price down can only lead to unhappy and out of pocket clients. A review of building sums insured and Business Interruption (BI) cover needs to be carried out regularly. See the following graph:

Even those with Business Interruption insurance may not be fully insured. For example, after a major fire, 50% of businesses do not survive. Yet 84% of SME businesses believe they are fully insured no wonder only 50% of businesses survive a large loss.
