What Is Business Interruption Insurance?

Also known as business income insurance, this coverage helps replace revenue lost due to a covered shutdown. During your restoration period, it may help pay for:

  • Mortgage, rent, or lease payments
  • Employee payroll and benefits
  • Loan repayments due during the closure
  • Utility costs (if not included separately)
  • Taxes and scheduled financial obligations
  • Lost income based on historical earnings

This support can help stabilize your business while you repair damage and prepare to reopen.

Extended Protections That Go Beyond Your Doors


Contingent Business Interruption

If your income drops because a key supplier, vendor, or third-party facility suffers a covered loss, this add-on helps recover that lost revenue. It’s especially useful in retail, manufacturing, and logistics industries.

Extra Expense Coverage

Covers additional costs that go beyond daily operations—like relocating to a temporary office, paying staff overtime, hiring temporary workers, or purchasing emergency equipment.

Civil Authority Coverage

Applies when your business is forced to close by government order—such as during a natural disaster affecting nearby properties. This policy typically covers short-term income loss and operating costs.

Utility Services Coverage

If your business shuts down due to power, gas, or water outages (even without direct property damage), this protection helps cover lost revenue and expenses—especially if utilities are critical to your operation.
