Your liability insurance protects the third-party that is involved in a claim made against your company. If a claim makes it to court then the damages will be assessed and any compensation due to the third party is to be paid. Any damage that is done intentionally will not be covered by insurance.

Another important type of coverage that is often over looked is business interruption insurance which covers the risk of losses a business may suffer because of a temporary closure of the business due to special circumstances such as a fire or other covered peril. Those business owners who invested in business interruption insurance get the compensation for both lost profits and recurring expenses.

Business interruption insurance is not a type of coverage that is sold alone or in a separate insurance policy. If you need this type of coverage then you need to get a base policy that protects you in many other ways. There are different factors that will affect the total price for your business interruption insurance which include the type of business you have, the location of the business, and the degree of difficulty that it would take to move to a temporary location.

This calculation is based on your company’s financial records. You also benefit because you will get full compensation for the expenses that you will continue to pay even though your business is not running such as the electricity.
