STANDARD FIRE AND ALLIED PERILS

  • Types of Cover

    There are two categories of covers offered under this product:

    • Basic Policy Cover - Losses and/or damages due to fire and lightning only.
    • Additional Cover - Losses and/or damages due to fire, lightning, and allied perils.
  • Coverage

    Both categories have similar terms applied to them. But for the additional cover of "Allied Perils", each peril differs from the other in terms of ratings. In addition to the above, you can also extend the standard fire and allied perils policy to cover against losses and/or damages due to burglary.

  • The Sum Insured

    The sum insured is determined based on either the actual value or the new replacement value of the property and should be sufficient to cover a total loss.

    The insured is responsible for calculating and declaring the sum insured, with support available from Sukoon’s underwriters if required.

    An accurate sum insured is essential to avoid the application of averages during a claim, which could result in the insured bearing a proportion of the loss.

  • Premium Amount

    The rate charged is calculated on a “per mille” basis, meaning for every thousand units of the total sum insured.

    The premium usually depends on the nature of the risk, location, and standard of housekeeping.

    A deductible applies to each claim, along with other policy conditions.

BUSINESS INTERRUPTION INSURANCE

  • Product Overview

    Sukoon Business Interruption Insurance helps protect your business from financial losses following events such as fire or lightning damage. When operations are disrupted, the policy supports continuity by addressing income loss and ongoing fixed expenses that continue despite reduced or suspended activity. The cover is designed to compensate for lost revenue and standing charges, including salaries, rent, utilities, and financing costs, during the recovery period. This ensures your business remains financially stable while normal operations are restored.

  • Add on Cover

    Business Interruption is an add-on cover available as an extension to Property All Risks or Fire Insurance policies.

    An underlying Property All Risks or Fire policy must be in place to access Business Interruption protection.

PREMIUMS AND SUM INSURED

When applying for Business Interruption cover, you must consider the following factors to determine the sum insured and premiums. Note that the rate chargeable is always applied to the total sum insured (gross profit) and is dependent on the period of indemnity, nature of risk, location, and alternatives available to continue with the business.

  • Gross Profit

    The amount by which "the sum of the value of the turnover and the value of the closing stock" exceeds "the sum of the value of the opening stock and the amount of the specified working expenses". The values of the opening and closing stocks should be calculated in accordance with the insured's normal accountancy methods, with due provision made for depreciation.

  • Net Profit

    This is the net trading profit (exclusive of all capital receipts and accretions and all outlay properly chargeable to capital) from the insured business at the premises after due provision has been made for all standing and other charges, including depreciation.

  • Standing Charges

    All continuing regular payments like Interest, Rent, Bank Charges, Insurance Premium, Advertising, Printing, Stationery, Electricity, Traveling Expenses, Maintenance of Plant and Machinery, Depreciation of Building, Plant and Motor Vehicles etc.

  • Annual Turnover

    Turnover is the total money earned by an insured business or service in one year.

  • Period of Indemnity

    The period of indemnity is the length of time for which benefits are payable under an insurance policy.

    This is different from the period of insurance, which will usually be 12 months. The indemnity period will depend on the time that the insured feels is necessary to prepare to come back to the position they were in before the incident that led to losses in property and trading.

    Reasonably, this period would be anything between 6 to 18 months. But it is usually worked out based on the indemnity amount payable, which is determined by factors like:

    • Reduction in turnover
    • Increase in the cost of working
