Genie Posted March 17, 2020 Share Posted March 17, 2020 Just now, Chindie said: Business interruption isn't really my field but there's definitely going to be some policies out there that will cover this kind of thing, but they'll be enormous premium covers that are tailored for gigantic businesses. The run of the mill BI policy normal businesses might have are designed for things like damage to property preventing work, they aren't covering virus outbreaks. Even less so stuff that's pretty much force majeure. There was a guy on 5live yesterday from a theatre in London. He said they had a very expensive policy that would cover them if they were told to close. As they've not been told to close, but rather the public told not to go they'll go bust.

I'd probably encourage the guy to contact his broker and read the wording. I'd be very surprised if he's covered for a virus outbreak. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On the one hand, young, fit, healthy people shitting themselves that they're going to die, and on the other, asthmatic old codgers completely ignoring all advice and carrying on obliviously.

NurembergVillan Posted March 17, 2020 Moderator Share Posted March 17, 2020 I had a video call with a close friend last night. She's late 30s, healthy, runs a couple of successful businesses. Her Dad passed away a couple of months ago, and she started the call by just bursting into tears. The uncertainty and lack of comms is causing more distress than just being honest with us.
