Business Interruption Insurance
At Johnston Insurance, we understand that businesses face an array of challenges, and some of the most unexpected ones can disrupt operations, leading to financial losses. That’s where Business Interruption Insurance steps in as a vital safeguard.
What Is Business Interruption Insurance?
Business Interruption Insurance, sometimes referred to as Business Income Insurance, is a policy that helps protect your company’s financial stability when unforeseen events interrupt your regular operations. These events can range from natural disasters like fires and floods to unexpected incidents like equipment breakdowns or civil emergencies.
Who Should Invest in Business Interruption Insurance?
Business Interruption Insurance is relevant for virtually all types and sizes of businesses, including:
- Small Businesses: Even the briefest interruption in daily operations can have a significant impact on small businesses with limited financial resources.
- Medium-Sized Enterprises: Mid-sized companies often have a lot at stake, including employees’ livelihoods and customer trust. Protecting against interruptions is crucial.
- Large Corporations: For larger enterprises, the scale of potential losses during business interruptions can be substantial. Having a comprehensive Business Interruption policy can mitigate these risks.
Why Is Business Interruption Insurance Important?
