As business interruption insurance accountants, we hope this web site will help to remove some of the mystery behind business interruption insurance.

Business interruption, time element, or loss of earnings insurance is one of the most misunderstood forms of insurance within the insurance industry and especially by the businesses being insured. The reason for this is rooted in most people's general apprehension about reading insurance policies and financial statements; let alone using or analyzing them. Because of this uneasiness, business interruption insurance is often the coverage that is either ignored or neglected.

We hope this web site will provide a general body of information and sufficient knowledge on business interruption insurance that "its mystery is removed" and the knowledge gap is bridged between:

• insurance claims personnel
• underwriters
• brokers/agents
• accountants
• insured businesses
• and other interested parties

This site contains information on:

• definitions, basic elements, coverages of business interruption insurance
• types of claims forms and comparisions
• financial concepts
• documentation requirements
• checklists
• worksheets
• claims preparation training and courses

It doesn't matter what side of the claim you are on, whether you are a representative of an insurance company or the business being insured, we can assist you with your business interruption insurance claim.
