Restaurant insurance in Middlesbrough

Middlesbrough's affordable restaurant and takeaway trade serves a busy Teesside town, and in a cost-conscious market it is tempting to keep the sums insured, and the premium, low. That temptation sets a trap that only shows itself at claim time.

Where the risks come from for Middlesbrough restaurants

Insure the fit-out, stock, or rebuild for less than they truly cost, or set the business-interruption sum below the real lost profit, and a serious claim is met only in part, with the average clause reducing every payout. A restaurant under-insured to save on premium can find itself badly short when it matters.

A Middlesbrough example

A fire seriously damages a Middlesbrough restaurant insured for well below its true rebuild and fit-out cost, and the insurer applies average, meeting only the proportion the premises were insured for. The business funds the shortfall, at exactly the moment it can least afford to.

What restaurant insurance covers

The buildings, contents, stock and business-interruption sums insured must all reflect true values, replacement cost and real lost profit, or the average clause reduces a claim. Getting the figures right is as important as the covers themselves.
