Consequential Loss
Stay afloat in the face of uncertainty
Following property damage, the insured may not be able to operate and resultantly, not be in a position to generate the requisite income to cover fixed expenses. The consequential loss policy provides coverage for gross profits for a period specified by the insured, and continues to provide the funds needed to cover such expenses until turnover is returned to normal.
Consequential loss insurance is a type of business insurance related to losses to business property or equipment. This insurance policy provides additional coverage not normally included in our Standard Business Insurance.Consequential loss insurance policies diminish indirect risks that arise from a situation and are typically offered in combination with regular business or property insurance. Consequential loss is considered an indirect loss, as opposed to a loss from a natural disaster or accident.
