OVERVIEW

The policy covers the cost of overheads and the loss of profits arising from damage such as floods, fire and allied perils including earthquake, riot, strike and civil commotion.

The business interruption covers the consequence of fire and is taken in conjunction with the material damage cover, hence the perils covered are the same.
