Business Overhead Expense

Business overhead expense (BOE) disability insurance is a cornerstone of a well-managed corporate financial plan. The coverage financially indemnifies the regular monthly overhead of a company in case of the partial or total disablement of the business owner. BOE coverage allows a business to stay afloat while the owner is on the mend with the goal of getting him/her back to work.

Most plans provide 12 to 24 months of benefit after a short elimination period which can be the saving grace of business owners whose firms employ fewer than 50 employees. BOE plans are important insurances for small to medium business owners along most industry lines. However, there is a concentration of this type of coverage among medical and dental practices in the United States.
