Business Property Insurance
If you have some form of casualty insurance on property and equipment used in your business, contact your insurance company or agent as soon as possible to notify them of losses to your covered business property. Photograph or videotape the damage to your business and space where it operates, as well as damage to your records, inventory, equipment, and any other loss. Commercial Lease Notify the landlord as soon as possible in writing if your leased property is damaged and if your business was shut down as a result of disaster. Review your lease to determine whether it terminates or if there is a provision for rent reduction during a business interruption. If your lease doesn’t provide for temporary rent reduction, try to negotiate one with your landlord. Contractual Obligations As a small business owner, you may have ongoing business obligations to vendors, suppliers and customers while your business operations are interrupted. Whether your obligations may be suspended or terminated depends on the terms of the contract between you and those with whom you do business. Start by reviewing the contract.
