Business overhead expense insurance is an expense reimbursement policy that covers the fixed monthly overhead expenses required to keep a business viable until the return of the insured owner, after a period of disability. This allows business operations to continue until the insured owner either returns to work or makes a decision regarding the future of the business.
If your business depends on your ability to generate income to help pay the bills, your absence due to a long- or short-term disability would impact the bottom line.
That’s why we provide business overhead expense insurance. It’s designed to help businesses with owners/partners who actively generate income (such as physicians, lawyers, accountants and engineers) pay ongoing fixed expenses—like salaries, rent, property taxes and utilities—in the event that a partner or owner becomes disabled and is unable to work.
