Business Interruption explained

Business Interruption Insurance, sometimes also referred to as loss of income insurance or business income insurance, is designed to protect the earning potential of a business in the event of a covered loss. This could include a natural disaster, significant property damage, or any other major event that disrupts normal business operations. It's not just about replacing lost income; it also covers operating expenses, like electricity and rent, that continue even when business activities come to a halt.

How does a typical Business Interruption Claim Work?

Covered Event Occurs

.. A covered event—such as a fire, flood, or other insured disaster—causes physical damage to your business premises, rendering it unusable.

Business Operations Are Interrupted

... As a result of the damage, you're unable to conduct business as usual. This leads to a loss of income that would have been earned had the event not occurred.

Claim is Made

... You file a claim with the insurer, providing necessary documentation that outlines the extent of the damage, the impact on your business operations, and the resulting financial loss.

Expenses and Lost Income are Covered

... Once your claim is approved, the insurance can cover your ongoing operating expenses and compensate for lost income until your business is back up and running.

Summary

... It's essential to note that Business Interruption Insurance doesn't cover all types of losses. It is usually tied to a commercial property insurance policy and only covers events that are covered by that policy. Plus, there can be exclusions and waiting periods.
