How to set correct business interruption sums insured in a high inflation world
Presented by Alan Chandler, one of the UK's most popular insurance presenters. Alan will take this opportunity to run through how business interruption insurance should be correctly set up. Alan will lift the myths away from Bi and show how, in his easy to understand style, you can get this cover on a correct footing going forward.
Wrong advice relating to business interruption accounts for the second highest cause of professional indemnity claims against brokers. Many Bi policies are set up incorrectly throughout the UK and a lot of this results from lack of good clear client advice. It does not help that the term Gross profit in the insurance world means something different from Gross Profit in the accounting world.

The FCA have found following a thematic review that vulnerable customers are often not treated fairly. In fact, many Insurers pricing models have taken significant advantage of these customers, often the more vulnerable the customer the more the insurer has loaded rates at renewal. Some of the UK's largest institutions have been guilty of proactively targeting these individuals and the regulator has had enough of Insurers and brokers balancing their books on the most vulnerable in our society.
