- Additional expenses insurance: Offers protection against extra costs that may arise due to a covered damage, such as temporary facilities or equipment rentals.
- Worker’s compensation insurance: Covers employees in case of work-related injuries and ensures they receive necessary compensation and treatment.

Example of business insurance in use
Simon runs a small manufacturing business that makes furniture. One day, a fire breaks out in the company's production facility, causing significant damage to inventory, equipment, and stock.
The property insurance in his insurance package will cover the destroyed furniture, machines, and other inventory damaged in the fire. The business interruption insurance will help cover the financial losses and additional costs the business incurs due to the production halt.
Furthermore, the additional expenses insurance in the business insurance package will be useful for temporarily establishing an alternative production facility and renting necessary equipment while the original facilities are being rebuilt.
This highlights the importance of having a comprehensive insurance package that can protect the business from potential risks and losses.
