Austria is a safe country, many companies think – and saves on safety. Often something only happens when something has happened.
Unforeseen events such as fire, technical defects or natural hazards can severely disrupt production and supply chains.
With the product Business Continuity Focus Property & BU, Risk Consult supports industrial and commercial companies in the targeted preparation for such business interruptions.
Our hands-on approach focuses on real-world P and business interruption scenarios.
In a structured four-phase process – analysis, evaluation, emergency planning and handover – critical processes are identified, risks are assessed and concrete measures are developed to ensure business continuity.
The result is a compact, insurance-compatible business continuity plan that can be easily integrated into existing management systems.
The aim is to minimise downtimes and ensure the restart strategy in the event of an emergency.

The aim of our activities is to optimise your business risks and to create a healthy basis for maintaining and safeguarding your business activities in the long term.
The basis for any insurance concept is the “authenticity” of the sums that are “at stake”. The valuation quickly provides the insurance company, the brokers and the insured with a list of their replacement values and thus forms the ideal basis for good and long-term customer relationships with policyholders.
For a risk-related assessment, well-founded information about the value of buildings, plants and facilities is required. If the sums stated in the insurance contract are less than the actual replacement values, this is referred to as underinsurance. In the event of a claim, underinsurance can lead to lengthy discussions and proceedings for insurers, and on the other hand, it can have consequences that threaten the existence of policyholders.
Risk Consult’s experience: Underinsurance as the rule
From more than 30 years of experience, an alarming picture can be derived: Depending on the industry, 70 to 90 percent of companies are underinsured, with the degree of underinsurance ranging from 20 to well over 100 percent (!).
The causes are complex and diverse
- Acquisition values do not correspond to the replacement value (especially machines)
- Own contributions are not capitalised in accounting and are not taken into account in the sums insured
- Incorrect demarcation between buildings and technical facilities; here there is a massive difference between information in accounting and actuarially relevant variables.
- Incorrect values due to index appreciation if used for too long (>10 years)
We refer to claims management as the professional support of major claims in the industrial and commercial sector. In an exceptional situation such as a claim, it is difficult for the injured parties to keep track of everything and to inform all the responsible authorities in a coordinated manner. Especially here, time is really money, because with proper claims management, the amount of damage can be reduced by up to 30%. Such exceptional situations are routine for our consultants.
In order to contain or prevent consequential damage and long business interruptions in good time, our experienced consultants – usually on behalf of an insurance partner – coordinate all parties involved and interests, such as:
- Authorities
- Colleague
- Customers
- Suppliers
- Neighbors
- Owners/Shareholders
- Claims professionals
- Insurance(s)
However, claims management is also a strategic control task: Many points that are important in an emergency can be fixed by organizations and companies as part of a preliminary analysis (and a subsequent emergency plan).
The path to Net Zero is fraught with challenges – from extreme weather to technical transitions to complex regulations such as the EU Taxonomy or CSRD. Risk Consult accompanies industrial companies, SMEs as well as banks and insurers in this transformation with practical know-how in natural hazard management and technical risk analysis.
Our claim: to make sustainability measurable, understandable and implementable – regardless of whether it is about physical climate risks, new technologies or regulatory requirements. We speak your language and together we develop solutions that make your organization more resilient and future-proof.
With Risk Consult at your side, sustainability does not become a burden, but an opportunity.
