Business owners understand there are many challenges and situations they must always be prepared for, including fire, floods, theft and other weather disasters. However, one common problem that can significantly hurt business is the loss of electricity during a power outage. For some businesses, having no power simply creates a loss of productivity for the day, but for food and perishable inventory businesses, a power outage can lead to substantial loss of revenue and inventory. Restaurant owners, grocery stores, delis, florists, and frozen treat retailers can lose tens of thousands of dollars in inventory and revenue with just a short power outage, but proper business insurance coverage can protect business owners from significant revenue and inventory loss.

Houston-area retailers and restaurant owners remember the significant power outages throughout the city after Hurricane Ike, as many were unable to reopen and quickly recover from their devastating losses. There were large numbers of restaurants and retail owners who never reopened their businesses after Hurricane Ike, as many with business insurance learned that their coverage did not include losses caused by power outages so their insurance claims were denied. Whether you manage a big restaurant chain, a family-owned deli, a neighborhood florist or a boutique bakery, it is absolutely essential to have business insurance coverage that will provide thorough protection in the event of a substantial power outage.
