Points to note

Please check the basics of the policy when you apply.

  • When applying for the policy, please confirm the product name, policy period, premium-payment period and the insured , and be sure to receive and check the policy wording.
  • Before concluding the contract, please read the product description and policy wording.
  • If you cancel an existing policy to take out a new one, acceptance may be declined, the premium may rise and the cover may differ — please take note.
  • Payment of the claim may be restricted by exclusions and payment-limitation grounds.

Nullity of the contract

If the insured event has already occurred at the time the contract is made, the contract is void. However, where the contract is void due to the company's intent or negligence, or where the company knew or could have known of the nullity before acceptance yet did not refund the premium, the company refunds the premium with interest at the policy-loan rate published by the Korea Insurance Development Institute, compounded annually, for the period from the day after payment to the day of refund.

Losses not covered

The specific losses not covered (exclusions) are set out in each insurer's policy wording and product description; on this page, see the “Cover” tab(or the “Losses not covered” section) for the main exclusions. For other cover-specific grounds on which claims are not paid, please refer to the policy wording.

Cover start date

The company provides cover, in accordance with the policy, from the time it accepts the application and receives the first premium. Where the company accepts the application after receiving the first premium with it, cover also begins from the time the first premium was received.

Policyholder's handwritten signature

The application must be completed by the policyholder, and the policyholder and the insured must sign it by hand. Failure to sign by hand may result in disadvantages regarding the validity of the contract. On an internet cyber-mall, an electronic signature may be used instead.

Right to be informed and have the product explained

The policyholder has the right to be given and have explained the information needed about the product they wish to buy.

Duty to explain

The insurer and N2N Insurance Brokerage must explain the important matters of the product to ordinary financial consumers.

Duty of disclosure before the contract

When applying, the policyholder, the insured or their agent must disclose truthfully the facts they know regarding the questions in the application (including the questionnaire). Otherwise the claim may be declined or the contract cancelled. Where insurance is taken out by telephone or other means of communication, the duty is performed by answering the seller's questions, which are recorded, without a separate written questionnaire, so answers must be given with particular care.

Duty of disclosure after the contract

If, after the contract is made, any of the following arises in respect of the subject-matter insured, the policyholder or the insured must notify the company in writing without delay and obtain endorsement on the policy.

  • When intending to take out, or learning of, a contract with another insurer covering the same risk as this contract
  • When transferring the subject-matter insured
  • When altering, rebuilding or extending the subject-matter insured or the building housing it
  • When moving the subject-matter insured to another location
  • When the risk is, or is found to have been, materially changed

Withdrawal of the application

  • The policyholder may withdraw the application within 15 daysof receiving the policy, in which case the premium paid is refunded. However, a contract more than 30 days after application (45 days where a policyholder aged 65+ contracted by telephone) cannot be withdrawn.
  • In addition, a medical-examination contract, a contract with a cover period of 90 days or less, guarantee insurance, statutory compulsory insurance, liability insurance under the Automobile Accident Compensation Act, or a commercial-insurance contract concluded by a professional financial consumer cannot be withdrawn.

Quality-assurance scheme

  • If, after application, the policyholder did not receive the policy wording and their copy of the application, was not given an explanation of the important contents of the wording, or did not sign the application by hand, they may cancel the contract within 3 monthsof the contract being formed.
  • In that case the premium already paid is refunded to the policyholder, with interest at the policy-loan rate compounded annually for the period the premium was held.

Why the surrender value may be less than the premiums paid, or nil

The surrender value is the amount paid if the contract is cancelled early. Unlike bank savings, insurance combines risk protection and savings: part of the premium is paid out as claims to other policyholders who suffer accidents, and part covers the insurer's operating expenses, so the surrender value on early cancellation may be less than the premiums paid, or nil.

Depositor protection

  • This policy is protected under the Depositor Protection Act, such that the surrender value (or the maturity benefit) plus other payments is protected up to “KRW 100 million per person” (aggregated with the insurer's other protected products).
  • Separately, the aggregate accident-claim amount of that insurer's protected products is “KRW 100 million per person” protected.
  • (However, a policy whose policyholder and premium payer is a corporation is not protected.)

Tax benefit (protection-type insurance)

Under Article 59-4(1) of the Income Tax Act (special tax credit), for protection-type insurance taken out by an employee only, a tax credit of 12% of the premium paid (capped at KRW 1 million per year) is available. Tax matters may change with amendment or repeal of the relevant tax law.

Personal-data protection

Except as provided by law, the insurer and N2N Insurance Brokerage do not collect, use, inspect or provide personal data related to this contract — for its conclusion, maintenance and claim payment — without the consent of the policyholder, the insured or the beneficiary. However, for those purposes the insurer may, with the consent of the policyholder and the insured and in accordance with law, provide personal data to other insurers and insurance-related bodies.

When you need corporate property insurance

Situations that come up often in corporate property management — a five-scenario self-check

🏢

Companies with HQ, factory, warehouse and multiple sites

Managing several sites on one policy reduces cover gaps and management burden.

📦

Manufacturing/distribution with volatile stock value

Stock value changes over time, so a fixed sum insured creates over/under-insurance risk.

🌐

Foreign-invested entities needing a global-group link

Suited to Korean entities needing a link to the head-office global programme.

🗄️

Logistics/data centres with high stored-asset value

Facilities with high stored-asset value need a detailed cover design.

⚙️

Needing integrated management beyond fire — machinery, electrical, BI

Suited to companies that must handle machinery failure and BI loss in one frame, not just fire.

A dispute pattern seen in the field

Corporate property insurance is not "fire insurance". It comprehensively covers all of a company's property — real estate, chattel, fixtures, stock, machinery, IT equipment — and extends by endorsement beyond simple fire/storm-flood to mechanical/electrical accidents, business-interruption loss (BI) and corporate liability. Two things matter. First, the sum insured must match the actual property value (TIV); if it is below the actual value, the under-insurance problem arises where the claim is reduced in proportion. Second, stock whose value changes frequently is usually adjusted on a monthly-declaration (stock-flow) basis to reduce over/under-insurance risk.

Four things easily missed when buying corporate property insurance

The wording and structure points decision-makers most often overlook

  • 1

    Sum insured (TIV) vs actual asset value — under-insurance risk

    If the sum insured is below the actual property value, the under-insurance problem arises where the claim is reduced in proportion. The asset value must be assessed accurately to set the sum insured.

  • 2

    Stock on a stock-flow declaration basis

    Stock whose value changes frequently is usually adjusted by monthly declaration. Leaving it at a fixed amount creates over/under-insurance risk.

  • 3

    Indirect loss (BI/MB) is via endorsement

    Beyond direct fire loss, indirect loss such as business-interruption (BI) and machinery-risk (MB) is covered only by extending an endorsement.

  • 4

    A factory is not viewed by structure grade alone — sector/process risk

    Factory property is assessed on the building-structure grade plus what is made (sector/process). The same building differs between a simple processing/assembly line and a process handling heat/flammable materials. Organising the actual process flow (raw material → product) with the building information makes underwriting accurate and fast.

Frequently asked questions

The questions decision-makers ask most when considering corporate property insurance

What is corporate property insurance?

It comprehensively covers all of a company's property — real estate, chattel, fixtures, stock, machinery, IT equipment — and extends by endorsement beyond fire and storm-flood to mechanical/electrical accidents, business-interruption loss and corporate liability.

How does it differ from fire insurance?

Where fire insurance handles fire-centred loss, corporate property insurance covers the company's property as a whole and can integrate indirect loss (BI, MB) and liability into one design.

How is the sum insured set?

It is set to the actual property value (TIV). If the sum insured is below the actual value, the under-insurance problem arises where the claim is reduced in proportion, so the asset value must be assessed accurately.

How is an asset like stock whose value changes handled?

Stock whose value changes frequently is usually designed on a monthly-declaration (stock-flow) basis to adjust the sum insured, reducing the over/under-insurance risk.

Can several sites go on one policy?

HQ, factory, logistics warehouse and branches can be managed together on a single policy. It helps reduce cover gaps and management burden.

On what basis is factory insurance assessed?

A factory is assessed on two axes — building-structure grade and sector/process risk. The same 'factory' has different fire risk by what it makes, so a simple processing/assembly line and a process handling heat/flammable materials are viewed differently. Organising the building information together with the process flow (raw material → product) at proposal smooths underwriting.

How is the premium assessed?

The insurer assesses it on property scale (TIV), sector, the number and risk of sites, the combined endorsements (BI, MB) and limit, and past incident history. The exact premium and acceptance are confirmed after underwriting by insurers such as AIG, Chubb, DB, KB, Meritz and Hyundai.
