The Importance of Business Interruption Insurance (BII)

Here is an excerpt from a new blog post at GreggMarcus.com:
One of the most fundamental types of insurance that you can carry as a business is business interruption insurance, commonly referred to as BII. Business interruption insurance is purchased to reimburse loss of income if a covered event occurs that makes it impossible to carry out your normal business operations. It is not commonly sold as an individual policy, but may be a clause that you can add to your business property insurance. In this post, Gregg S. Marcus, a Long Island Insurance Executive explains the importance of Business Interruption Insurance for any business.

Worker’s compensation coverage protects your employees when they are injured on the job.
