Start with the real exposure
The wording must match the business behind it
A fire policy is the foundation of many business insurance programmes, but the word “fire” can be misleading. The actual protection depends on the selected policy wording, insured perils, declared locations, sums insured, deductibles, warranties and add-ons.
Umber helps businesses describe their occupancy correctly, value buildings, plant and stock sensibly, compare insurer terms and prepare a coherent claim trail.
“A policy works as a programme: values, wording, extensions and claims preparation must support one another.

Buyer questions
Clear answers before you decide
These are starting points. The final answer always depends on the selected insurer’s wording and your disclosed circumstances.
Is flood damage covered under fire insurance?
It may be covered when the selected wording includes storm, flood and inundation and the event is not excluded. Deductibles and location-specific terms should be checked.
Does fire insurance cover lost profit?
Not by itself. Loss of profit or business interruption generally requires a separate section or policy linked to an insured property-damage event.
How should stock be valued?
The basis depends on the stock and wording. Values should reflect realistic peak exposure and all declared locations; inadequate declaration can reduce a claim.
