Your small business is the culmination of your hopes, dreams and countless hours of hard work. You may even aspire to pass your business on to future generations. Don’t let your dream deteriorate due to an unexpected disability. Be ready for anything with affordable BOE protection. Isn’t your dream worth protecting?

How to explain the product:

A Business Overhead Expense (BOE) policy pays overhead expenses if an insured business owner or employee becomes disabled. The policy is typically short-term, from 12 to 24 months, and is designed to keep the business running until the insured recovers from a disability.

BOE policies typically cover rent, interest payments on some types of debt, utilities, salaries, office equipment expenses and maintenance, both payroll and property taxes, professional membership dues and subscriptions, accounting fees and insurance premiums for employees. In some cases, BOE policies also cover the salary on any temps hired to do the job of the disabled person.

BOE policies typically do not cover income taxes or the cost of inventory.
