SBAM Encourages Use of the
Business Interruption Insurance System
To help small businesses shuttered by the state due to the COVID-19 pandemic, SBAM is encouraging the state to use the Business Interruption Insurance system to help those affected. Business Interruption Insurance covers the loss of income that a business suffers after a disaster. Though many small businesses have these types of policies, they don’t cover pandemics, viruses or government action.
