Business income insurance, also known as business interruption insurance, helps replace lost income when your business is forced to temporarily close or reduce operations after a covered property loss. It can also help pay ongoing operating expenses such as payroll, rent, loan payments, taxes and certain fixed costs while your business recovers.
This coverage is designed for businesses that rely on a physical location, equipment, inventory or customer traffic to generate revenue. It is commonly purchased by restaurants, retail stores, contractors, medical offices, professional service firms, manufacturers, warehouses, auto repair shops, salons and many other Colorado businesses. If a covered loss prevents your business from operating normally, business income insurance can help reduce the financial impact during the restoration period.
How Much Does Business Income Insurance Cost in Colorado?
Business income insurance is usually added to a Business Owner’s Policy or commercial property policy, rather than purchased by itself. For many small Colorado businesses, the total policy cost often falls around $150 and $1000+ per year when business income is included with property and liability coverage. Lower-risk businesses may pay less, while restaurants, contractors, manufacturers, larger retail operations and higher-revenue businesses may pay several thousand dollars more.
The final cost depends on your annual revenue, payroll, property values, industry, location, building construction, prior claims and the amount of income protection selected. Pricing can also change based on the waiting period, restoration period, extra expense coverage, deductible, monthly limit of indemnity and whether coverage is written through a standard BOP, commercial package policy or specialty market.
