Business Interruption Insurance protects business owners when something happens that to their company that causes it to temporarily close down. It provides business owners with an agreed amount of monthly income to replace the revenue that is lost while the firm is closed.
While statistics vary, a majority of small businesses closed for even a short time after a fire, flood, or major damage never reopen or fail within a short time after reopening. If a company loses its computer information and files, the rate of failure is higher. Without business income insurance, many companies simply get too far behind financially to recover.
While it is more important for small businesses, any size company should consider getting a business interruption plan because any size company can experience an incident that can lead to it temporarily being shut down.
When a disaster happens that causes you to pause on your business, your business starts bleeding money. It may leave you in a financial situation that won’t allow you to ever reopen. Having a business interruption plan could mean the difference of being forced to permanently close or having the opportunity to reopen.
When theft occurs or a business experiences an accident that puts a halt on business operations, a business interruption policy covers that business until they resume again.
It can help reimburse you for lost income due to destroyed merchandise or for extra expenses, such as costs associated with temporarily relocate your business.
