Frequently asked questions

Q
Doesn’t my business insurance cover equipment?
A
Some business insurers provide basic material damage cover for equipment, but it rarely provides cover for loss of revenue or breakdown cover leaving you severely exposed.
Q
Why would I need business interruption insurance when I have a warranty?
A
Whilst a warranty will cover labour and parts that are faulty and need repairing or replacing, it will not cover the loss of income caused by the plant not running at its normal capacity should there be, for example, a delay in your plant being repaired.
Q
Are you able to provide cover under one policy through construction into operation of the plant?
A
Possibly, but this may depend on the current insurance market conditions. Insurers prefer to be involved as early as possible. Involving an insurer from the outset clearly benefits your project as:

1. they will understand your plant; and
2. you will be able to factor in loss mitigation controls they require from the outset. It is far more financially viable from a Capital Expenditure (CAPEX) perspective to do this than trying to retrofit which can be extremely costly.
Q
Can you help me understand and meet funders’ requirements and clauses?
A
Yes, we have over 15 years industry experience and understand funder requirements and can provide the advice and insurance programme conditions required.
