Business Interruption Insurance 

Business interruption insurance, also known as business income insurance, is a type of insurance that helps businesses recover from financial losses that result from a covered event, such as a natural disaster that results in physical damage to the business. When a business is unable to operate due to a covered event, business interruption insurance can help cover the lost income and expenses that the business would have incurred during the disruption.

Typically, this is not a standalone policy, but rather is an add-on to a commercial property policy or part of a package policy such as a Business Owner’s Policy (BOP) or Commercial Package Policy. (CPP)

Benefits of Business Interruption Insurance

There are several benefits of business interruption insurance for businesses:

• Financial protection: Business interruption insurance helps businesses recover from financial losses caused by a covered event. This can help businesses avoid bankruptcy and keep their doors open.
• Coverage for lost income: Business interruption insurance covers the lost income that a business would have earned if it had been able to operate normally during the disruption.
• Coverage for continuing expenses: Business interruption insurance can also help cover the ongoing expenses that a business incurs, such as rent, utilities, and employee wages, even if the business is unable to generate any income.
• Coverage for extra expenses: In some cases, business interruption insurance can also help cover the extra expenses that a business incurs as a result of the disruption, such as the cost of temporarily relocating to a new location.

• Civil Authority – A covered business interruption event causes the government to mandate a business be closed which results in financial loss. For example, if the street is closed due to damage caused by a tornado.

Exclusions of Business Interruption Insurance

Business interruption insurance policies typically exclude certain types of events and losses. Some common exclusions include:

• Events that are not covered by the policy: Business interruption insurance policies typically list the types of events that are covered. If an event is not listed, it is not covered by the policy.
• Losses that are not directly caused by the covered event: Business interruption insurance typically covers losses that are directly caused by the covered event. If the losses are caused by something else, they may not be covered by the policy.
• Losses that are not documented: To receive benefits from business interruption insurance, businesses must be able to provide documentation of their losses. This may include financial records, receipts, and other evidence.
