Summary

BI cover considered as an insurance to safeguard the continuity of the business involved

External factors (outside insured object) are causing extra loss of income and therefore a greater risk to business continuity

BI policies require material damage to insured objects

Conclusions

Excellent risk management and prevention measures can adversely affect the continuity of the insured business (punishment for good behavior?)

Policies do not cover Business Interruption losses as a result of external factors (e.g. "loss of market”)

BI insurance not a full (asset protection) solution to protect and safeguard continuity of the business

Thank you for your attention!
