Protecting Your Business with BOE Insurance: A Lifeline for Small Business Owners

As an independent insurance agent, I often see business owners focus on essential coverage like Buy/Sell agreements, Key Man insurance, and Owner Disability Income coverage. However, there’s another critical aspect that sometimes gets overlooked: protecting the business itself from the impact of an owner’s disability. This is where Business Overhead Expense (BOE) insurance comes into play.

The Hidden Risk to Your Business

Imagine the scenario: you have a small business, perhaps a family-owned or closely held company. The owner is deeply involved in daily operations, managing a couple of employees, handling a business loan, and ensuring the bills for heat, lights, and mortgage are paid on time. Now, picture what happens if this owner suddenly becomes disabled and can’t participate in the business’s daily activities.

Without the owner’s active involvement, the business could face severe challenges. Payroll might go unmet, utility bills could pile up, and the crucial task of generating new business could stall. In many cases, the business might struggle to survive, and some might even face the risk of closure.

How BOE Insurance Can Save Your Business

BOE insurance is designed to protect the business from the financial strain caused by an owner’s disability. It covers essential expenses like payroll, rent, utilities, and other operational costs, ensuring that the business can continue to function smoothly even in the owner’s absence.

This type of coverage acts as a lifeline, providing the necessary financial support to keep the business afloat. It allows the business to remain open and operational, giving the owner time to recover without the added stress of financial worries.

Planning for the Future

In the unfortunate event that the business needs to be sold due to the owner’s disability, BOE insurance provides the breathing room needed to develop a well-thought-out business plan. This ensures that the sale is conducted in a calculated and strategic manner, maximizing the value and securing the future of the business.
