Business interruption (BI) insurance is crucial for private equity firms, as it provides financial protection in the event of unforeseen disruptions to a portfolio company’s operations. Interruption in business operations due to natural disasters, supply chain disruptions or cybersecurity breaches can have a significant financial impact to a fund’s bottom line. For private equity firms, business interruption insurance is not only a risk management tool but also a strategic asset that can safeguard their investments, maintain the trust of investors and protect the long-term value of their portfolio companies.
