Business interruption/Consequential loss
Also known as Business Interruption. It is concerned with paying for the consequences of a material damage loss.

The Con-Loss Insurance therefore enables the Insured to recover gross profit due to a reduction in turnover and reasonable additional expenditure incurred in minimizing the reduction in turnover.
