Top Bureau insurance is a Belgian-law fire insurance policy for buildings and contents from AG SA, distributed by BNP Paribas Fortis SA.
The policy is valid for 1 year, at the end of which it will be renewed by tacit agreement for the same period, except where it is cancelled at least three months before the renewal date.
For a policy taken out or renewed by tacit agreement on or after 1 October 2024, you have until two months before the renewal date to cancel it.

This is always the case with Top Bureau, which covers your building and its contents. It compensates you for damage to your office and furniture, computer equipment, documents etc., so you can quickly get your business operating again after a disaster!
