The basics of business insurance

The Basic coverages

Property insurance

Property insurance covers the tangible, what is material, in the broad sense. It is therefore possible to cover buildings, equipment, tools or even stationery. It will also be possible to cover the consequences that damage to your property could cause, in particular the subsequent loss of income.

Machine breakdown

This protection covers claims of electrical or mechanical origin and due to pressure, including or not your production chain.

Third party liability

Your responsibility could be engaged in different ways and, depending on your activities, you may need several coverages: third party, professional, environmental, directors and officers, among others.

Operating loss

Protect your loss of income resulting from an incident covered by your insurance policy.

A specialized insurance adapted to your activities.

Complement of Coverage

Manufacturers' errors and omissions

This coverage is intended to cover failure to fulfill the intended function when it causes damage that is not of a bodily or material nature.

Earthquake

This protection aims to protect you against seismic activities, whether they be artificial or natural.

Sewer backflow

When wastewater causes damage, it is very likely that the required protection is the sewers' backflow. This protection will cover the affected property and building.

Flood

This protection covers floods, in addition to the leakage or overflow of any natural or artificial body of water, surface water, waves, tides, tidal waves and tsunamis.

Myth or reality

Insurance beliefs for retailers, wholesalers or manufacturers

My company did not manufacture a product, I am therefore not responsible for the damage it may cause.

False.   According to caselaw, the retailer could be held liable or be prosecuted for the damages caused by a product sold.

I have an additional risk if my products are manufactured in China.

True.  When your product is manufactured in China, in addition to possibly having problems regarding quality, it is extremely difficult to seek a remedy against a Chinese manufacturer.  The chain will therefore stop at the wholesaler or retailer.
