How Can Your Company Benefit from Business Interruption Coverage?

Posted on by

Business interruption insurance can protect your business from financial ruin in the event of an unexpected disaster. If your business has to shut down due to extensive damage to your building or products, business interruption coverage provides the financial means to sustain your enterprise until you get back on your feet.

Judging from recent events, disasters can strike at any time. Smart business owners will secure their future by obtaining the right insurance coverage for their needs. At E.S.T.I.R. Inc. we can help you obtain a business interruption policy geared to your individual situation. Here are some of the ways business interruption coverage can benefit your Newark, NJ firm.

Replaces Lost Revenue

Extensive damage to your business property or goods could cause your business to close temporarily until repairs can be made. A shut down will result in loss of business income. In the meantime, your company has to continue paying its bills. It may even incur other expenses due to the disruption of business. If a disaster destroys your workplace and you need to vacate the premises temporarily until repairs are made, your business interruption policy will cover lost revenue until you get back on your feet

Business Expenses

Business interruption coverage will also pay for fixed business expenses such as your rent and utilities during your shutdown so you don’t have to pay these expenses out of pocket. Depending on your business interruption policy, you can also get reimbursement for:

  • Rental of a new temporary location
  • Cost of moving to and operating from a new location
  • Employee wages

Any time you shut down a business you run the risk of losing customers to competitors. With business interruption coverage from E.S.T.I.R. Inc. Newark, NJ, you benefit from financial resources to secure your business until you can get back on your feet.

I Purchased an Older Car. Is Liability Insurance Enough?

Is Liability Insurance Enough for my Older Car?

Think of liability insurance as the minimum coverage available that can protect you, the owner of the vehicle, against lawsuits. This basic policy will likely protect you from having to pay out-of-pocket to repair the automobile or property damaged during an accident of which you were at fault. Keep in mind; it does not pay for repairs to your own vehicle or property.

Liability insurance is only available if you own your vehicle outright. For some people in Newark, NJ, the cost of collision or comprehensive policies is simply not in the monthly budget. Luckily, the agents at E.S.T.I.R. Inc. understand how to get you the best coverage you can afford. 

Components of Liability Insurance

1. Third party insurance is the component that covers the owner of the vehicle against lawsuits.

2. Personal injury protection covers you up to $250,000 towards medical expenses. You can choose to add essential services to the policy which would cover things like nursing assistance while recovering.

3. Loss of income coverage can be added to provide coverage for up to 60 percent of your income during physician verified recovery time. 

4. Death benefit coverage of up to $10,000 in the unfortunate incidence that the accident caused a death. Funeral expenses of up to $2,000 can be added to the policy. 

How is Collision Insurance Different?

Collision insurance goes beyond liability in that it covers repairs to your vehicle or replacement of your vehicle if it is totaled in an accident.

What About Comprehensive Insurance?

Not all accidents involve driving. Comprehensive will cover damage such as a tree falling on the vehicle or hail damage. It also covers theft or vandalism. 

Proof of insurance is required to drive legally in Newark, NJ. Contact us online at E.S.T.I.R. Inc. or by phone at (973) 481-5300 if you have questions about which insurance is right for you.
