This is one of the most common questions Fire Claims Solutions is asked… every business, and the loss it has sustained is different. Some operations may be interrupted for a short period of time, while others may take months or longer, to rebuild.

How can I determine how much Business Income I’ve lost?

Business Income is extremely difficult to prove because of its theoretical nature, and as the period of interruption is analyzed, many different factors may need to be considered, like changes in marketing and pricing.

The Period of interruption is defined as the “reasonable amount of time necessary for the insured to resume business.” This is not a clear cut time period, and not solely based on the amount of damage suffered, but will also encompass the amount of time needed to restore the business to the level that it would have enjoyed had the loss not occurred is ‘extended period of indemnification’ included within your insurance policy?

This Extended Period of Interruption coverage can be added to your policy, but knowing if it is included within your current policy can be critical when it comes to the survival of your business.

• I do not own the building I operate out of, what am I responsible for as far as repairs?
