Business Interruption

It’s Business as Usual with Business Interruption Insurance

Business owners often overlook this important insurance. Consider most businesses that suffer a major claim close for six months or more. What would happen to your business in that circumstance?

Basics of Business Interruption Insurance

• Business Interruption Insurance is like disability insurance for your business and pays for the business’s loss of profit and ongoing expenses in the event of an interruption.
• This coverage may be part of a package or an endorsement to a commercial property policy.
• You’ll protect your business should a loss, such as damaged business equipment or vandalism, or a hazard, such a fire, hail or windstorm, force closure for a short period, within the policy terms.
• For viable claims, the policy typically requires a “necessary suspension” of the insured’s operations.
• The coverage pays for lost net income and continuing expenses such as rent or mortgage, advertising, salaries and taxes.
• The policy may pay your relocation and advertising fees if you relocate temporarily to another location.
