Business interruption insurance is to a business what disability insurance is to an individual. During the time that your business is suspended, due to an insured event, the insurance is intended to recover the lost profits and proportional fixed expenses. This should theoretically make the business "whole" during the suspension by reimbursing all of the continuing expenses. BEWARE insurance companies view depreciation as a variable expense, not ongoing overhead, and will attempt to exclude the depreciation on assets, whether destroyed or not, from any business interruption recovery.
"Business Interruption Insurance is not an insurance company. It is a type of insurance that protects a business in case of an interruption such as machinery malfunction, power outage, or other reason that may cause the business to be interrupted temporarily."
