Business Interruption Sum Insured Calculator

Overview

Business interruption insurance pays the gross profit you lose, and extra costs you incur, after insured damage such as a fire or flood. Many businesses are underinsured because the sum insured is based on accounts gross profit, does not allow for growth, or the indemnity period is too short. If you are underinsured and the policy applies "average", every claim is reduced in proportion.
