If you own a business that only operates during certain seasons, it makes more sense to have seasonal business insurance. Seasonal business insurance can provide coverage for businesses that only operate for a limited time during the year. It can also provide business income protection for full-time businesses with less busy seasons. Keep reading to learn more about seasonal business insurance and how you can benefit from it.

What type of protection does seasonal business insurance provide?

Here are some protections that season insurance provides:

• Special events: If you have a business that hosts trade shows, festivals, concerts or other events that require coverage if they are cancelled, special event insurance covers the losses you may incur, including ticket refunds, lost income and the cost of the venue.
• Pop-up shops: Some companies do not need to rent a building all year round. Many seasonal, short-term businesses rent a property for a limited period of time. With seasonal business insurance, equipment and inventory can be covered. It can also protect you from liability if someone sustains injuries while visiting the property.
• Risk of loss of income: Horrible, unforeseen events can happen when running a summer business. You can experience a robbery or bad weather that can damage your business and close it for the rest of the season. Talk to your insurance agent about policies that include income replacement in the event that your business has to close due to vandalism, weather damage or theft.
• A weak season: If you have a business that makes most of its money during certain seasons, seasonal business insurance can protect you if you come up short and can’t cover your expenses, such as rent or employee paychecks. Ultimately, it can help keep the doors of your business open even during times of struggle.
