Few things are more important than continuous revenue and cash flow, particularly for small to medium-sized organizations.
Just one brief business interruption can be incredibly costly for an organization, often leading to serious reputational damages or long-term closures.
That’s where business interruption insurance can help.
This coverage protects against common interruptions, including natural disasters, equipment damage, and vandalism.

What is Business Interruption Insurance?
Business interruption insurance is often included in a Business Owner's Policy (but never assume you have coverage). While rarely written as a stand-alone coverage, business interruption insurance is one of the most critical commercial insurance coverages you can purchase to create sustainability in your business.
The following are some other major benefits of business interruption insurance:
Revenue
In the event of a disruption, business interruption insurance provides coverage for income your business would have earned during a closure period if it had normally been operating.
Rent or lease payments
Even if your premises are unusable following a disaster or other event, many leases still require that you make payments.
Business interruption insurance allows you to continue making rent or lease payments, even while your business is not operating.
Relocation
In the vent that your primary location is unusable following a disaster or other event, you will likely have to relocate to remain open and continue generating revenue.
Business interruption insurance can cover the expenses of moving your business to a temporary location and may include both moving and rent costs.
Employee wages
If you are unable to operate, likely, you will not be able to continue paying employees. Business interruption insurance can help you avoid losing staff while you’re closed by ensuring that you make payroll.
This is especially important, as finding new employees is often more expensive than keeping them.
Loan payments
If you have an outstanding loan, you will need to continue to make payments even if your business isn’t fully operational.
Business interruption insurance will ensure you never miss a payment until you are fully operational again.
