What can be included in business contents insurance?
Business contents insurance can provide cover for the following risks:
- Theft, including incidents that happen during normal business hours
- Accidental damage, for example, damage to windows or displays
- Loss or damage caused by storms,
water and fire - Loss of data, with the cost to restore databases lost due to physical damage covered
In addition to protecting against damage caused by weather events, like windstorms, or theft, business contents insurance can also cover accidental damage caused by members or employees.
For example, if a member accidentally drops a weight on a piece of gym equipment, significant damage may be caused. Business contents insurance can help cover the costs of repairing or replacing the equipment.
Aside from gym equipment, business contents insurance can also help protect other essential items you need to run your business, like laptops.
