Making an Insurance Claim

For most businesses it is not a case of if, but when. You will probably make a claim on an insurance policy at some stage, be it for a catastrophic fire or a minor theft.

Your insurance policy will compensate you for financial loss. This can include replacements, repairs and even your lost profits.

But insurance cannot guarantee that your customers will wait while you get your business back on its feet. You need to minimise the business disruption by ensuring quick and full settlement of your claim. This briefing looks at:

• What to do when you suffer a loss.
• How to make a claim.
• What your insurer will require you to do.
• How to speed up the settlement.
• Why your claim may not be met in full.
