Business interruption coverage is designed to replace income when operations are halted by a covered event. It typically pays the net income you’d have earned and ongoing fixed expenses (like rent and payroll) during the downtime, and can also cover extra expenses to resume operations sooner. This protection applies only if the event is a covered peril under the policy, such as a natural disaster. Instrument insurance covers instruments, car insurance covers vehicles, and liability insurance covers third-party claims, none of which are about replacing your own lost income.
