As small businesses in flood-affected regions calculate the cost of the damage, many say finding flood insurance is becoming nigh on impossible. Traders are urging insurers to extend a scheme that has been set up for homeowners to business owners. "Flood Re" is due to launch in April, it is a not-for-profit flood reinsurance scheme that will allow homeowners to get affordable insurance. Peter White asks Flood Re Chief Executive Brendan McCafferty whether there will be any support for small businesses. With the new year just around the corner, You & Yours speaks to industry experts about what might happen to food prices, the cost of energy and the way we bank in 2016.
