Why Fire Insurance is Essential for Startups?

Before taking a leap of faith and jumping into the big pool of the startup world, consider understanding and assessing risks from all corners. During an unfortunate event, startups or SMEs need a safety net to fall back on.


You might have taken necessary precautions and installed various fire safety equipment in your office or warehouse. But unimaginable accidents can still occur, leading to disruption, damage, and irreparable losses to your business. This makes fire insurance for start-up an imperative buy.

Kinds of Fire Insurance

Now that we have identified the need for fire insurance for businesses, it’s time to know the kinds of fire insurance offered best suited to your needs. In January 2021, The Insurance Regulatory and Development Authority of India (IRDAI) issued guidelines allowing insurance companies to design customized products for micro and small enterprises, ‘Bharat Sookshma Udyam Suraksha’ and ‘Bharat Laghu Udyam Suraksha’. 


For Sum Insured up to Rs 5 Crores 

Bharat Sookshma Udyam Suraksha: This policy provides cover for the plant & machinery, building, stock and other assets up to Rs. 5 crores.


For the Sum Insured between Rs 5 Crores and Rs 50 Crores

Bharat Laghu Udyam Suraksha: This policy provides cover for the plant & machinery, building, stock and other assets above Rs. 5 crores but not exceeding Rs. 50 crores.


For Sum Insured beyond Rs 50 crores

Special Fire & Special Perils (SPSF): This policy provides cover for the plant & machinery, building, stock and other assets above Rs. 50 crores. 

Conclusion 


A fire insurance policy for your startup is like having damage control at your fingertips. If your startup does not have an adequate fire insurance policy, the repercussions can make a big hole in your pocket. Knowing the significance of fire insurance, Policybazaar can help you compare and buy the right policy for your startup.
