What Is Considered Business Income?
Business income is generally regarded as:
Your net income – This is the income (including profit or loss) your company typically would have brought in before your income taxes are subtracted.
Your continuing expenses – These are your normal operating expenses you’ll continue to pay after a loss, such as a payroll, electricity, property taxes, and rent.
What Are My Business Income Coverage Options?
When purchasing business income coverage for your Tupelo or Oxford, MS business, you have one of three options:
- Business Income Including Rental Value
- Rental Value Only
- Business Income Without Rental Value
Requirements for Business Income Coverage
A business income loss for your business will only be covered if all of the following conditions are satisfied:
-
You suffer income loss
-
You suffer a physical loss of a covered peril
- You are within your scheduled limit
Suspension During Period of Restoration
A suspension occurs if due to a covered peril, your business operations and income slow down or cease completely. If you are a landlord and your insurance coverage includes rental value, then a suspension will occur if all or some of the covered premises become uninhabitable due to damage by a covered peril.
