Summary  BI cover considered as an insurance to safeguard the continuity of the business involved  External factors (outside insured object) are causing extra loss of income and therefore a greater risk to business continuity  BI policies require material damage to insured objects

Conclusions  Excellent risk management and prevention measures can adversely affect the continuity of the insured business (punishment for good behavior?)  Policies do not cover Business Interruption losses as a result of external factors (e.g. "loss of market”)  BI insurance not a full (asset protection) solution to protect and safeguard continuity of the business
