[BROKER_NAME]  ·  NAICOM Reg. [NAICOM_REG_NO] Fire & Special Perils Policy Schedule

One electrical fault. One market fire. One uninsured warehouse.

Fire and Special Perils cover for shops, warehouses, factories and hotels — rebuild your premises and replace your stock without rebuilding your business from zero.

Clause 1 — The Exposure

Underinsurance doesn't feel risky. Until the fire brigade leaves.

Most commercial premises in Nigeria are self-insured by default — not by decision, but by delay. The numbers only matter once.

Days

Average time a fire-damaged SME stays shut before it can trade again without cover in place — stock, fittings and premises all lost at once.

₦0

What NAICOM or your landlord's building policy pays toward your stock, equipment, or fittings. Their cover protects the structure, not your business.

1 fault

Is usually enough. Electrical faults and cooking-area fires remain the leading causes of commercial fire claims across Nigerian retail and hospitality premises.

Clause 2 — Perils Insured

Fire is clause one. Special Perils is everything after it.

A standard Fire & Special Perils schedule extends well past the name on the policy — here's the full spread of what's insured.

01 Fire
02 Lightning
03 Explosion
04 Aircraft & falling objects
05 Riot & strike damage
06 Malicious damage
07 Storm, flood & windstorm
08 Burst pipes & water damage
09 Impact by vehicles
Clause 3 — Who This Schedule Fits

Built for the premises that keep Nigerian commerce running.

Cover is rated to how your premises actually operates — not a generic shop-and-office template.

Retail outlets

Shop fittings, stock-in-trade and point-of-sale equipment covered at the value that's actually on your shelves.

Stock uplift available

Warehousing

High-value stored goods, racking and loading-bay exposure, rated for single-location or multi-site accumulation.

Accumulation rated

Manufacturing

Plant, machinery and raw materials, with business-interruption extensions to cover lost production days.

BI extension available

Hospitality

Kitchens, guest areas and fittings — priced around your real fire load, not a flat hotel-wide estimate.

Clause 5 — Questions Before You Bind

What owners ask before signing.

Does this cover my stock, or just the building?

Your schedule is rated to include stock-in-trade, fittings and equipment — not just the structure. Building-only cover is available separately if you're a tenant and your landlord already insures the premises.

What's excluded from Special Perils?

War, nuclear risk, and gradual deterioration (like rust or wear) sit outside standard cover, along with a small excess on each claim. Your schedule lists every exclusion in plain terms before you bind.

How fast can I get a certificate?

Standard risks — retail, warehousing, offices — are typically quoted and bound the same business day once sum insured is confirmed. Higher-hazard premises may need a short risk survey first.

Can I insure more than one location under one schedule?

Yes — multi-location schedules are common for retail chains and distributors, with sums insured allocated per site.
