This leads business owners to assume that they would not face any big losses. But imagine a fire caused due to a short circuit burning down the entire office. Would a small business be able to get back on its feet and resume business easily? A Fire and Special Perils insurance policy provides coverage for\u200a\u2014\u200afire, malicious damage, riots, explosions, impact damage and natural calamities.<\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"2_Errors_Omissions\"><\/span><strong>2.
