This is where Business Interruption Cover becomes essential. It's not just insurance; it's a vital component of your Business Continuity Plan, designed to ensure your charity's resilience when the unexpected strikes. What Does It Cover? 1. Loss of Rental Income: If your charity depends on rental income, this insurance steps in to cover the financial loss during the time your premises are out of commission. 2. Loss of General Income: When your building is damaged, it can result in a significant drop in your charity's income. Business interruption insurance helps bridge this income gap. 3. Increased Costs of Working: When your primary premises are unavailable, you may need to seek alternative spaces or resources to keep your operations running. This insurance alleviates the financial burden of those additional working costs. 4. Loss of Gross Profit: For Community Interest Companies, this insurance protects your gross profit, ensuring your organisation's stability.
