Protect the continuity of jewelry stores operations.
A continuity plan should look beyond physical repairs. For jewelry stores, recovery can depend on jewelry stores operations, people, property, contracts, technology, vehicles, vendors, revenue, and the risks specific to the business, as well as timely access to people, data, equipment, suppliers, utilities, and customers.
Recovery dependencies to map
- Critical people, locations, equipment, utilities, systems, suppliers, and vendors
- Realistic repair, replacement, relocation, and revenue-recovery timelines
- Customer, employee, vendor, and stakeholder communications for the jewelry stores operation
Values and timelines to test
- Property, equipment, inventory, and income values for the jewelry stores operation
- Payroll, revenue, locations, vehicles, and other current exposure schedules
- Information supporting jewelers block or other appropriate specialized property coverage
- Information supporting general liability, crime, cyber, and business income
- Information supporting workers' compensation, commercial auto, and umbrella or excess where appropriate
Questions to resolve
- Operations or risks not fully disclosed for the jewelry stores account
- Outdated values, classifications, limits, deductibles, or recovery assumptions
- Contractual requirements or critical dependencies not addressed by the insurance review
Frequently asked questions
Why can the recovery period exceed the repair period?
Permitting, equipment lead time, installation, testing, supplier delays, staffing, customer communication, and the return to normal revenue can continue after physical repairs are complete.
What should jewelry stores review after a major change?
Locations, operations, values, payroll, vehicles, contracts, vendors, revenue, and controls should be revisited when the business changes materially rather than waiting automatically for renewal.
