FIRE CONSEQUENTIAL LOSS OR LOSS OF PROFIT OR REVENUE
Whereas the fire policy covers you against material losses which you incur as a result of fire damage, the consequential loss insurance covers loss of profits or loss of revenue consequent upon such fire. Objectives such as making profit and declaring dividends to shareholders, the fire damage notwithstanding, can be met with the existence of this policy.
It is important to note that a small fire damage or explosion of vital equipment could result in business interruption thus resulting in substantial consequential loss claims, whilst a major fire may not necessarily impair productivity.

Loss of GROSS PROFIT arising from:
- Reduction in TURNOVER/ REVENUE and
