If you’re a business owner, business overhead expense (BOE) insurance secures money allocation during your absence.

Your employees would also get paid along with your taxes or any debts. Do you want to discover how BOE can work to your advantage? Keep reading!
BOE Works Like a Disability Check.
An extended stay away from your business can cause a significant financial impact. You want to make sure that there is no gap time as far as payroll operations, paying vendors, taxes, or any other financial obligations. An insurer would pay you each month to make sure that money distributes for the things that your company needs to stay afloat. With BOE insurance, your business will run as normal.
Just make sure to note that you will still need disability coverage for yourself. BOE does not cover your loss of money.
How to Know If You Qualify
To receive BOE, you must not be eligible for social security. In other words, you must be younger than 65 years old. Anywhere between the ages of 18-64 makes you suitable. Your business also has to be running for a minimum of two years. Business owners who work from home may not be eligible for BOE. Just like with disability insurance, you will need to show proof of revenue.
How Long Will You Be Covered?
BOE could last between a year-and-a-half to two years. If you are between the ages of 61-64, it may only continue for a year. Benefits will cease when you return to work.
How is “Disability” Defined?
If an insurer rejects you, it typically means that there is no proof that you are unable to perform the essential functions of your business. A doctor or physician must be taking care of you.
How Long Does the Elimination Period Last?
The elimination period is the time that it takes to receive your benefits. This period lasts about thirty to 90 days. If you choose to wait a more extended amount of time, you can save money on your premiums. Since there is a chance that you may recover before benefits are paid out is the reasoning behind this.
What Does BOE cover?
- Wages-Yes even the partial payment of the employee that takes your place
- Office Expenses
- Debts
- Real Estate
- Other Insurance Expenses- Yes, BOE can cover liability insurance, property insurance, and even your employee’s life and disability insurance
