What is business insurance?

Business insurance protects organisations against losses incurred in the pursuit of their normal business activities. Losses may arise through accident, weather-related events such as floods or lightning strike, theft, malpractice, employee compensation claims, shipping risks, utility failures, and a host of other issues. Although business insurance cannot stop problems from occurring, it can replace what was lost, pay for interim arrangements as your business gets back on its feet, and give your business the chance to thrive again.
