How business interruption insurance works

 

Practical example

The popular Marktküche restaurant, located in a beautiful older building, suddenly suffers a burst pipe. The resulting water damage interrupts Marktküche’s restaurant operations for a full two months.

Thankfully, the business interruption insurance means that the financial loss is limited. Generali bears the additional costs associated with continuing to operate: the rent on the replacement premises and new furniture. Generali also covers any loss of sales.
