How We Made a Difference for One Business Owner
Case Study: After a major pipe burst closed a family-run café in Glasgow’s West End, the insurer’s first offer was just £12,000—barely enough to cover two weeks’ lost sales.
PCLA’s loss assessor stepped in, reviewed the café’s turnover, fixed costs, and supplier contracts, and documented every loss. We negotiated the claim up to £36,800, including lost gross profit, ongoing wages, and rent during closure. The owners never had to argue with the insurer again—just focused on reopening and serving customers.
- Final settlement: £36,800;
- Initial insurer offer: £12,000;
- Time to settlement: 11 weeks.
Your Biggest Questions—Answered by Glasgow’s Business Claim Experts
What is business interruption insurance?
Business interruption insurance is a type of coverage that helps protect businesses from financial losses due to unexpected events that disrupt normal operations. This insurance can cover lost income, fixed costs, and additional expenses incurred during the indemnity period, ensuring that a business can recover and get back to trading as usual.
What does a business interruption cover include?
A business interruption cover typically includes loss of profits, ongoing operating expenses, and additional costs incurred while the business is unable to trade due to physical damage or other specified events. It is essential to review your insurance policies to understand the exclusions and limits of coverage.
How long is the indemnity period for business interruption claims?
The length of time known as the indemnity period varies depending on the specific business interruption policy. It can range from a few months to several years, with some policies offering coverage for up to 36 months. This period is crucial as it determines how long the business is protected after an unexpected event.
Can I insure against losses due to a pandemic?
Yes, some business interruption insurance policies offer coverage that includes losses incurred due to pandemics, such as COVID-19. However, it is important to check the specific terms of your insurance policies, as many may have exclusions related to communicable diseases or viruses.
What should I do if my business is unable to trade?
If your business is unable to trade due to an unexpected event, it is crucial to contact your insurer immediately to initiate a claim. You will need to provide documentation of the damage, income lost, and other relevant information to support your claim. An accountant can assist in calculating the gross profit and business expenses affected.
Are additional costs covered under business interruption insurance?
Yes, most business interruption insurance policies cover additional costs that may arise due to a disruption in business operations. These costs can include expenses for alternative premises or any increased costs to carry out business as usual during the indemnity period.
