About Policy
A lot of time, hard work and considerable money are put into building up a business. It’s known how misfortune can strike when one least expects it. Almost anything can happen at any time – a short circuit can reduce assets to ashes, a burst pipe can flood the premises, a riot or strike can wipe away years of effort. One cannot predict the future but we can definitely buy protection against such uncertainties. Century Insurance is known to provide one of the best Fire and Allied Perils products in the industry. We take pride in providing comprehensive protection backed by sound financial capability.
