Make your business interruptions less disruptive.
Business interruption is a risk common to all businesses, large and small. Yet, according to the research firm Gartner, fewer than 25% of the Forbes Global 2000 companies actually have a full interruption plan with appropriate coverages in place beyond their IT environments.
Do you know the potential financial impact of a major interruption?
To help you account for expenses that may continue even though your business has come to a halt, use the Business Interruption and Extra Expenses Worksheet for your planning purposes.
This worksheet will help you plan coverages for:
- Fixed charges and other expenses
- Ordinary payroll and compensation
- Expenses incurred for overhead and facilities
Tips to consider when completing the worksheet
- Review your annual financial records with your accountant to determine your annual gross profit
- Consider the growth of your business from the renewal date of your insurance policy
- Assume that operations will be shut down for at least a year after an earthquake
- Review your business interruption & extra expense insurance every year; otherwise you significantly increase the risk of becoming under-insured
