Business interruption, also known as Loss of Profits or Consequential Loss Insurance, is a special insurance cover. It pays the business owner any fixed overheads and similar business costs following a fire, storm damage or other major events that prevent a business from trading. This insurance starts from the time of the fire until the business is back up and running to where it was before the damage occurred.

For example, solicitors, investment consultants, and medical or dental practices. As many of these businesses can continue to operate from home or serviced offices, gross profits are generally not insured, only additional or increased working costs.

Contracts Works Insurance has two key sections: the first provides cover for physical loss or damage to the works, and the second covers personal injury or damage to a third party's property. It can also cover tools and equipment owned by the business on and off-site.

Contract Works Insurance is a package of insurance covers designed specifically for builders and contractors of any size. This insurance can help contractors financially survive if there is an accident or some type of damage to the works during construction, someone is injured, or valuable plant and equipment is lost or damaged.

Contract Works Insurance is an invaluable way to transfer your larger financial risks to an insurer for a fixed premium, and so minimise your risk. Many head contractors and principals also require builders to have this insurance in place.

Public and Products Liability - provides cover for injuries to other contractors working on the site during the construction (public liability), as well as damage to property which was built or completed once they have left the site (your product). For example, if support for a wall was not built correctly, and the wall collapses a year after the work is finished, then damage to the wall would be covered.

So, in the above example with the wall, the cost to rebuild the faulty support would not be insured, only the resulting damage to the wall and clean-up costs. However, if anyone was injured or the surrounding property was damaged, your insurer will pay for these costs and any legal expenses.

This will form the basis of their recommendation for the type and amount of insurance and excess so you can make a fully informed decision on your risks and insurance.
