Frequently Asked Questions

There are limited exemptions, but most food and drink manufacturers with employees will need this cover.
Many policies can include machinery or equipment breakdown cover. This can help cover the cost of repairing or replacing essential manufacturing equipment, such as production lines, refrigeration systems, mixers, ovens, bottling machinery, and packaging equipment. Some policies may also include cover for resulting business interruption.
Business interruption insurance helps cover financial losses if your operations are disrupted following an insured event, such as a fire, flood, or equipment failure. It can help with ongoing operating costs, lost income, and certain additional expenses while your business recovers, helping to reduce the financial impact of unexpected interruptions.
