Business interruption insurance is typically an “add-on” available for comprehensive business insurance policies. While other types of insurance for businesses are typically used for repairs and replacements in the aftermath of some kind of loss, business interruption insurance is meant to compensate business owners for lost revenue, fixed costs, temporary location costs, training costs, and more while their business is closed.
Some of the most common reasons that business interruption insurance is used include the following situations:
The purpose of business interruption insurance is to help ensure that the business ends up in the same financial situation it would have been in had any of those disruptions not occurred. This type of insurance typically begins at the time the disruption occurs and lasts until the time when the business has been made “whole” through repairs or restoration efforts.
