Spotlight: Are you covered in the event you experience loss of business income? What’s important for you to consider?

What is business income insurance? Business Income and Extra Expense Insurance, sometimes referred to as Business Interruption Insurance, is commercial coverage that reimburses a business owner for loss of anticipated profits and necessary continuing expenses during the period that the premises is being restored to normal operations due to direct physical loss or damage to covered property from a covered peril, such as fire. Extra Expense coverage can also be added to a premises with Business Income coverage to pay for necessary expenses to avoid or minimize the suspension of the business’ operations during the same restoration period. Additional coverage is available to cover business income and extra expenses that may occur if an action by a civil authority limits access to your business premises due to damage by a covered peril to covered property away from your premises.

What’s important for you to consider? Many businesses forgo this important coverage or have a limited monthly or annual plan. Are you correctly covered to protect your business income for the period of time it may take to restore your business following a covered loss? Consider the actual loss adjustment period, application for building permits, ordinances, construction period, loss of customers during the restoration period, and extra expenses/advertising/alternative rental costs to keep or attract customers. What about the loss of income if one of your important vendors or suppliers cannot work with you due to a covered loss at their business? Do you have a back-up plan? There are many coverages available to address your specific business interruption concerns.
