Insurance & Risk Management Ideas Made Simple in Two Minutes

"MAJORITY OF BUSINESSES FAIL AFTER A BUSINESS INTERRUPTION"

Why? Because of inadequate planning and improper insurance coverages. Our last issue discussed catastrophic planning, this time we want to talk about the need to survey your business interruption insurance needs.

You income stream is one of your most important assets, yet most insurance plans never adequately address this issue.

Would any of these affect your business?

  • A key supplier’s plant is flooded, they cannot deliver to you for 6 months.

  • Your retail business is in a strip center anchored by a large store. That store is closed for 9 months after a fire.

  • Your key piece of production equipment is destroyed by electrical arcing and a replacement will take 2 months.
  • Your service business is burned to the ground you need space, phones, inventory, and computers today or risk losing your customers to competitors.
  • You have negotiated a lease for $2,500 per month and locked it in for 10 years. A fire forces you to move to a new location where the rent is now $4,500 per month.
  • Your toll-free telephone line generates 25% of your sales. Tornado knocks out your service for 10 days.
  • Your retail business depends on the Christmas season to make a profit and your store suffers extensive smoke damage on Thanksgiving and will not be re-opened for 90 days.

These things happen all the time and businesses are severly hurt or fail because of it.
