Do you have the right Business Interruption insurance?
Unfortunately, too many small business owners fail to think about how they would manage if a fire or other disaster damaged their business premises to the point where they were temporarily unable to conduct business.
Business interruption insurance covers you for lost income if your company has to vacate the premises due to disaster-related damage that is covered under your property insurance policy, such as a fire.
It also covers the revenue you would have earned, based on your financial records, had the disaster not occurred. The policy also covers operating expenses, like electricity, that continue even though business activities have come to a temporary halt.
How much is Business Interruption insurance?
The price of the business interruption policy is related to the risk of a fire or other disaster damaging your premises.
All other things being equal, the price would probably be higher for a restaurant than a real estate agency for example because of the greater risk of fire.
Also, a real estate agency can more easily operate out of another location.
