It can also include business interruption coverage, compensating for lost income and extra expenses if operations are halted by a covered loss.

Most policies cover common events like fire, windstorms, and hail, but floods or earthquakes may require separate policies. Reviewing your coverage is essential to ensure full protection.

Q6. Why is this insurance considered essential?
It is a core protection for businesses of all sizes and industries because it safeguards physical assets, helps maintain cash flow during disruptions, and fulfills many landlord and lender requirements.
