Why Georgia Contractors Need Business Interruption Insurance

3/5/2021

Picture
When contractors have a loss to their equipment, it can put their entire business in jeopardy. For example, when a warehouse fire destroys all of the business' equipment, it will take some time to file a claim and acquire new equipment. Even if the claim is processed quickly, what if the equipment is back ordered? It's safe to say the current jobs/contracts are going to be at risk, along with upcoming jobs and projects. This is why it is crucial for Georgia contractors to have Business Interruption Insurance. 

Choosing a BII coverage limit can be challenging with many loss variables involved. It’s important to get enough coverage to bridge potential income interruptions.

Here are 10 key questions contractors should ask when considering what BII limit they need:
  1. What equipment, tools, supplies, paperwork and other assets would you lose in a fire or other disaster?

  2. Without those items, how much revenue would you lose per week or month?

  3. While you're unable to work, what expenses would continue to accrue?

  4. How long would it take to replace everything?

  5. How long would it take to replace just the critical items?

  6. If these items aren’t readily available, what items can you substitute, and what kind of delay will be involved in getting the substitutes?

  7. Can you temporarily rent or borrow needed items?

  8. Once everything is replaced, how long will it take to get your operation back to 100 percent?

  9. What kind of extra expenses would you incur (such as penalties for failure to meet a contract deadline, rush shipping on supplies or equipment, labor to update contracts)?

  10. What kind of loss could you sustain if a fire or other covered peril affects one of your key vendors?

Taking the time to run through these scenarios and calculate the potential loss exposure can pay huge dividends down the road. In fact, it can make the difference between protecting your profits and filing for bankruptcy.

How would your business fare if you were unable to operate for a week? A month? A few months? You get the picture. 

Since business interruption insurance is among the least understood coverage types, many contractors simply don’t have enough coverage – and that’s one of the biggest causes of business failure following a fire or other disaster.

If you or a crucial supplier suffered a fire or other disaster, would your income be in jeopardy? For more information about protecting your profits with business interruption insurance, talk to the construction insurance specialists at the Roberts Insurance Group today.
