Protecting Small Businesses from Unforeseen Risks
In 2021, India witnessed a staggering 1.6 million* fire accidents, resulting in the tragic loss of several lives. For small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), fires don’t have to spell the end of their business. These incidents also cost the nation about ₹1000# crores annually.
Small companies that own or lease commercial spaces and have movable or immovable assets are more prone to such risks. These dangers are hard to predict or prevent, but an Asset Insurance policy can help mitigate these risks.

What is an Asset Insurance policy?
An Asset Insurance policy is designed to safeguard a company’s physical assets in the event of unexpected occurrences such as fire, theft, or natural disasters.
It covers the costs associated with replacement, repair, or reconstructing of all essential business assets, including computers, machinery, buildings, inventories, furniture, and fixtures. Even the cost of debris removal is covered in the policy.
What is covered?
- Building coverage: This includes the building itself, along with its plinth, basement, and any additional structures associated with it.
- Physical assets within the building: The policy covers physical assets held within the building. This includes equipment, electronic items, machinery, furniture, and fixtures.
- Utilities coverage: The policy also covers utilities critical to the operation of the business, such as DG sets, servers, air conditioning plants, and transformers.
- Inventory and stock: The insurance policy safeguards your inventory and stock, encompassing raw materials, finished goods, and packaging materials.

The Power of an Asset Insurance policy
A massive fire erupted at a hotel in Mussoorie. The incident resulted in the complete destruction of the hotel before fire service personnel could bring the blaze under control. Fortunately, the hotel owner had bought an Asset Insurance policy, which fully compensated for the loss caused due to the fire.
In another incident, a fire broke out in a branch office of a bank in Chennai. The fire damaged 2 cabins, including the ledgers stored within them, as well as several computers, their accessories, and at least 6 air conditioners. The fire was ignited by a short circuit in one of the computers that had been left turned on.
Luckily, the presence of an Asset Insurance policy proved valuable. The policy covered the entire cost of replacing the damaged air conditioners, computers, and accessories. It also covered the expenses for repairing the two cabins that had been affected by the fire.

Why invest in Asset Insurance policy?
Here are the key reasons to consider this insurance:
Protection of Valuable Assets
Asset Insurance safeguards your business against substantial losses. It covers the loss of working capital, machinery, fittings, and other essential immovable assets, ensuring that you can quickly recover and rebuild.
Preserving Financial Stability
Many small businesses secure working capital loans against both company and personal assets. Asset Insurance protects these assets that have been hypothecated, preserving your financial stability and preventing personal financial liabilities.
Sustaining Income-generating Capacity
Asset damage severely impedes your business’s income-generating capacity. An Asset Insurance policy ensures that you receive compensation for these losses, helping your business stay afloat during the recovery process.
Avoiding High-interest Loans
Having Asset Insurance ensures that you avoid paying high interest rates on loans to rebuild your property after any fire incident, which could impact your balance sheet and operating profit for years.
What’s not covered?
- Deliberate, willful, or intentional acts
- War, invasion, or war-like situations
- Pollution or contamination
- Loss of bullion or unset precious stones, and works of art unless declared separately
- Consequential damage such as loss of like market capitalisation, loss of earning etc.
