Also known as consequential loss insurance, Fire Business Interruption Insurance provides indemnity to the insured in respect of loss of profit. Any loss under the material damage policy will affect the business interruption insurance as this will lead to interruption in the business in terms of loss of production, sales and consequently earnings. The insurance can only be taken together with fire insurance (please refer to Fire Insurance under Personal Lines section).

Loss of gross profit following a reduction in turnover
Increase in cost of working

Depending on the insured’s needs and subject to the insurer’s agreement and the payment of additional premiums, the basic policy can be extended to cover the following special perils:-
Specified/Unspecified supplier’s premises.
Prevention of access extension.
Public utilities extension (water, electricity and gas).
Specified customer’s premises.
Infectious or contagious diseases, murder, suicide, pest, food or drink poisoning or defective sanitary arrangements
EXCLUSIONS
Since the business interruption policy comes together with the material damage insurance, the exclusions will be similar to the material damage policy.

3.1.1 Specified Suppliers’ Extension A consequential loss policy may be extended to cover loss arising from damage to specified suppliers' premises located in Malaysia, Singapore and Brunei only. For suppliers located outside these areas, please refer to the Rating Committee. The profits rate for one specified supplier is calculated by applying the percentage limit to the appropriate rate for Standard and Special Perils. When the extension relates to more than one specified supplier the rating is cumulative and the following method should be adopted :
(i) Each supplier is rated individually under the base rate and then listed in descending order of rates.
(ii) The profits rate charged is : 100% of the highest rate brought out by the calculation in (i) Plus 50% of the second highest rate plus 25% of the third highest rate plus 10% of each of the remaining individual rates An example (together with a worksheet) to calculate the Consequential Loss insurance premium is attached in Appendix II
