ISR isn't just for large businesses. Small and medium-sized enterprises can also benefit from this type of insurance, especially if they operate in high-risk industries or have unique risks that traditional insurance policies may not cover.

Case Study

Scenario: A manufacturer experienced a major fire in their warehouse, resulting in significant damage to their property, machinery, and stock. The fire also caused a disruption to their business operations, leading to a loss of income.

  • Property Damage: $2 million to cover the cost of repairing and replacing the damaged property, machinery, and stock.
  • Business Interruption: $1 million to cover the income loss resulting from the business operations' interruption.
