Agriculture
This is designed to cater for all types of risk related to commercial farms.
All Risks
Accidental loss, damage or destruction from any cause, including fire, which is not specifically excluded. "All risks" means that any risk that the contract does not specifically omit is automatically covered.
Boiler and Pressure Vessel
Boilers and other pressure instruments can be insured on their own, to cover explosion and collapse. Boilers and pressure vessels are huge investments and can often form an integral part of any manufacturing or processing operation.
Bonds
A bond is a contract executed under seal whereby the insurer agrees to protect the insured person or persons to pay to some other person or body a specified sum of money referred to as the penalty of the bond, if any of the conditions of the bond are not adhered to.
Burglary
Loss or damage from a building entered by force or violent means, and also attempted entry. It provides a valuable cushion effect to any losses as a consequence of break-ins - especially relevant for Kenya where crime rates are particularly high.
Carrier Legal Liability
Covers cargo carriers and haulage companies against legal liability arising from their negligence that may have damaged property entrusted to the carrier for transport. The policy comes into force and only applies for the duration that the products for cargo are in the care of the cargo carrier.

Contractors All Risk (CAR)
Covers a contractor’s obligations on civil engineering construction work, right through the life of a project and beyond.

The policy is written on “all risks” basis and cover includes;-
- Fire and allied perils
- Accidental damage
- Collapse, collision, impact, theft, malicious damage
- Damage due to faults in design, materials, workmanship
- Maintenance
The sum insured should reflect the contract value in respect of civil works.
The policy is subject to a single excess or both a basic and a higher differential excess.
Contractors Plant & Machinery
This insures the contractor’s plant and machinery when the plant and machinery are at work, at rest or during maintenance operations and is not limited to a specific construction site. The cover excludes all internal breakages. The Plant & Machinery are insured for a sum equivalent to the new replacement value at the time of making a claim.
Erection All Risks (EAR)
Covers the contractor ‘s machinery during the erection of the site. Individual EAR policies vary according to the type and length of project. The policy is intended to cover the contractor for his contractual obligations; this is the main difference from Contractor All Risk.

This policy can be customized to your individual requirements and based on the types of electronic equipment you have.

Fidelity Guarantee
Loss arising from fraud, dishonesty or theft by a company employee. This policy applies to both commercial as well as individual clients.
This is a particularly relevant insurance policy for Kenya, and is widely taken up by many clients, as risks like these involving an employee are excluded from our business burglary policy. This insurance policy from our business department is unique in that it is applicable to both commercial as well individual clients. In situations where theft is the result of non-company employees who were aided by an employee of your company, cover still applies.
Fire & Allied Perils
Indemnity for the insured against loss of, or damage to, their property caused by various perils. This product can be taken up individually or it can form part of your ‘All Risks’ policy. Fire is a common risk and one which needs to be taken seriously. We recommend this policy to all our clients.
Fire & Consequential Losses
Designed to cover the costs of expenses and overheads and loss of profits that occur as the result of a specific sets of risks. These can include Earthquake, Fire, Floods, Riot. This type of insurance policy can work hand in hand with many of our other business insurance policies but really complements the Fire and Allied perils insurance policy.
Goods in Transit
The loss or damage to goods can be the result of fire, theft or accident, and can allow for transportation by either rail or road. This type of policy normally has territorial limits like Kenya or East Africa.
Industrial All Risks
An all-inclusive policy designed for larger organizations with huge potential risks which need a more customized product. This is a comprehensive and popular insurance policy as it covers accidental damage, burglary, fire and fire consequential loss.
Machinery Breakdown (Loss of Profits)
Indemnifies the actual loss of gross profit sustained as a result of a business interruption caused by an accident covered under machinery insurance.
Machinery Breakdown (Loss of Profits)
Indemnifies the actual loss of gross profit sustained as a result of a business interruption caused by an accident covered under machinery insurance.
Having such a cover is very crucial for all businesses as machinery breakdowns can cause major set-backs to production lines which in turn affect volume of output, revenue and hence the company’s profits. MLOP insurance compensates for:
- the continuing business expenses (standing charges) including the salaries and wages paid to employees
- the net profit
- the increase in cost of working i.e. the additional expenditure necessarily and reasonably incurred for avoiding or diminishing a reduction in turnover
Having such a cover is crucial for all businesses as machinery breakdowns can cause major set-backs to production lines which in turn affect volume of output, revenue and hence the company’s profits. A prudent manager should avoid such risks and get cover to protect the company’s financial stability/position.

Taking in to account the troubles that happened during the last elections we do not have to remind you how important it is for your organization to investigate this product further.
Public Liability
Covers legal liability to pay damages as a result of accidental bodily injury or accidental loss of or damage to property of the members of the public. This is a very important cover as it protects the insurer, usually a business entity owner, from heavy fines if asked to compensate members of public.
Stock Floater
An integrated policy that is specifically designed to cater the needs for clients that handle large volumes of moving stocks. This policy comprises cover for fire, burglary and transit risks of stocks. This is an all in one policy aimed to cover organizations with large volume of varying stocks.
Workmen’s Compensation
The Work Injury Benefits Act (or WIBA for short) is cover provided for bodily injury by accident or disease caused while the claimant was an employee of the insured (formerly known as Workman Compensation and Common Law cover). This policy protects employers (the insured) against liabilities that potentially arise through employment and that would commonly occur due to negligence on their part towards the welfare of their employees.
