What is business interruption insurance?

Business interruption insurance is a type of insurance that covers you and your business from the loss of trade and income following a disaster. The insurance covers the subsequent loss of income from the moment trading stops to when it is able to recommence.

Business Interruption Insurance protects the continuity of your business during or following events you cannot control, such as accidents or natural disasters. If your business suffers a sudden cease in trading, we’ll make up the lost income while your business gets back on its feet. Prices for this cover vary depending on turnover and how prone your business might be to a cease of trading caused by outside influences.


If your business has suffered losses as a result of the corona virus (Covid-19) lockdown and you may be able to make a compensation claim on your business interruption (“BI”) policy following the High Court ruling in, The Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) v Arch Insurance (UK) Ltd & Ors [2020] EWHC 2448 (Comm) (“the Test Case”). Our claims handling expert can provide step by step guidance in connection with recovering your losses if your claim has initially been refused by your insurer.
