In this workshop, we will review the basics of coverage under an ISO Business Income with Extra Expense Coverage form, presented as groundwork to apply to the case study insured used throughout the remainder of the program. We will work together to determine if their current Business Income limit is adequate by reviewing what we know the form will cover, along with the information provided by the insured’s current policies and applications. In small groups, participants will work on the development of a more credible limit, and length of time this insured may be out of business following a significant loss. We will then explore the issue of fluctuation of income as a result of a peak season, and how to account for that, and compare the ISO coinsurance and non-coinsurance options for Business Income. Finally, in small groups, participants will investigate specific common claim scenarios to determine if the coverage form can respond.
