Insuranceopedia Explains Overhead Insurance

Owners are often extremely critical to the success of their businesses. This means that if a business owner becomes disabled and will be unable to work for a period of time as a result, the business can suffer losses and reduced profitability. Overhead insurance attempts to prevent those losses from being too severe by helping to ensure that there will be enough operating capital to run the business in the owner’s absence.
