Advance Loss of Profit Insurance

Features & Benefits

Requirements
Even slight delays in commissioning of projects can cause major losses to a business, stopping it from generating revenues. Material damage policies, in such cases, will not suffice. What is required in such moments is an "Advance Loss of Profit Insurance Policy".

While running a business requires a substantial amount of capital, there are some financial commitments that depend solely on the generation of profits. During construction, accidents may occur and your property might get damaged, leading to a delay in operations, and subsequently cause losses. The Advance Loss of Profit Insurance can provide you coverage in such situations.

Sum Insured
The sum insured is based on the gross profit anticipated for the business and the indemnity period.

Premium
The premium rate for this policy is derived from the material damage rate, after applying risk factors like coverage, deductibles, past loss experience, location, and nature of the occupancy.
