The Overlooked Question Most Business Owners Miss
Most business owners understand the importance of protecting their physical assets with insurance — buildings, equipment, and inventory. But too often, one critical question goes unasked:
What happens if your business can’t operate after a disaster?
A flood, fire, or storm can force temporary closure. While the doors are shut, the income stops — but expenses keep coming. Research shows that nearly 40% of businesses never reopen after a disaster. Standard commercial property policies cover the physical damage but do little to address lost income and ongoing costs.
This is where business interruption insurance becomes a lifeline.

What Business Interruption Insurance Covers
Business interruption insurance works as the missing piece of your insurance protection plan. Standard property insurance pays for repairs. Business interruption coverage replaces the income your business would have earned if the disaster had not occurred.
Coverage is triggered when your operations are interrupted by a covered peril such as fire, storm, or other catastrophe. From there, this protection provides steady cash flow to cover essential expenses like:
-
Property taxes and mortgage payments
-
Employee salaries and benefits
-
Loan obligations and fixed costs
-
Temporary relocation expenses if necessary
Even commercial property owners benefit. If tenants cannot pay rent due to closures, this coverage helps protect your rental income stream. In some cases, it even applies when government restrictions prevent access to your property after a disaster.

How It Works in Real Life
The true value of business interruption insurance becomes clear immediately after disaster strikes. Imagine a manufacturing plant hit by lightning — operations halt, production ceases, but the bills keep piling up.
Without this coverage, business owners often face impossible choices: take on crippling debt or close for good. With proper business interruption insurance in place, coverage kicks in to handle ongoing costs until recovery is complete.
Filing these claims isn’t simple. Business owners must document both physical damage and financial losses. Strong records of pre-disaster income, detailed documentation, and timely claims filing all matter. That’s why specialized public adjusters like Sill make such a difference. We know how to prepare, present, and negotiate these complex claims to maximize recovery.

Benefits for Commercial Property Owners
For commercial property owners, business interruption insurance is more than peace of mind — it’s a financial lifeline.
-
Protects ongoing rental income if tenants cannot operate
-
Helps property owners cover mortgage payments and taxes
-
Supports tenant recovery while stabilizing your own cash flow
The real value lies in how it prevents cascading financial effects. Tenants may struggle to pay rent during extended closures, but your financial obligations never stop. Business interruption insurance bridges the gap, keeping income steady while recovery is underway.
Just as importantly, Sill’s adjusters understand the complexities of commercial property claims. We ensure coverage is applied properly, losses are documented thoroughly, and claims are negotiated aggressively.
