Extended Business income coverage
Replaces lost income from sudden business loss
When a business’s operations are suddenly interrupted or regular operations cease, extended business coverage provides financial assistance to cover the loss of income during this time.

What Is Extended Business Income Coverage and What Does it Cover?
The extended business income coverage insurance policy considers additional expenses due to the temporary closure, reduced operations, resume, or restore business later.

These costs include repairs after fire damage or vandalism, transferring operations to a temporary location, and other incidentals required to operate during this time.
In some cases, this type of business insurance may also cover employees’ wages if there is a loss when operations cease.
Once the restoration finishes, the policy may not cover further losses if they exceed the initial interruption time frame.
What Types of Businesses Need Extended Business Income Insurance?
Businesses with a storefront benefit from this insurance because any interruption in operations may effectively close the store for days, weeks, and in some cases, months.
Home-based businesses and online companies typically do not require this insurance, as they are not impacted in the same way as brick-and-mortar shops and companies.
