Business interruption insurance will help to cover loss of income and also help to cover expenses associated with getting back up and running and also day-to-day expenses. It could be added as a part of a business owner's policy or it could be an add-on to a commercial property policy.
What Business Interruption Insurance Covers
Business interruption is a coverage that's added to a property insurance policy, alongside coverage for a building or for business contents or personal property. If you have a property policy and you have some kind of property loss or damage to the building or the business's personal property that's covered by the policy, that is what triggers business interruption coverage.
Business Interruption Insurance
Business interruption coverage is intended to work alongside the property portion of the policy. It's not independent coverage, it works in tandem along with it.
