What is it?
Property insurance protects businesses against the financial consequences of damage to their buildings and other "tangible assets" from fire, flood, theft etc. It can also cover the financial losses that a company experiences because of such incidents, which prevents them from running their operations properly and could ultimately affect their profits. It usually provides protection for a specified period of time after the initial loss.
Why do you need it?
With an increasingly hostile natural environment, including the risk of flood, as well as rising crime rates, the threats to a company's operations are greater than ever. The consequences of property damage are wide-ranging and the potential loss from business interruption, such as reduced productivity, can be devastating to the balance sheet, even more so than the original loss.
Who needs it?
Asset protection is an essential feature of every company's loss prevention portfolio, whatever their size or type of operation. Large organisations with a range of operations, particularly worldwide, have especially complex needs in protecting their assets. Smaller businesses are more vulnerable to disruption as they often have neither the finance nor the capacity to manage unexpected incidents.
