[00:00] Hi, I'm Nick Roper. If your business had to shut down tomorrow — a fire, a flood, a cyber event — how long could you survive without revenue? That's what Business Interruption insurance is for.

[00:25] Here's the problem: the businesses we've worked with were underinsured by 73% on average. If you had to shut down after a major loss, your policy might only pay out 27 cents of every dollar you actually lost.

[00:52] How does that happen? The culprit is usually the BI worksheet — the form your insurer asks you to fill out. It's fraught with issues and many get it wrong: limits set too low, indemnity periods too short, and coverages missed entirely.

[01:20] You don't have to DIY your BI. An independent Desktop Review looks at your actual financials — income statements, payroll including key employees, policy wording and declarations — and calculates an accurate BI number for each location.

[01:55] We typically recommend a 24-month indemnity period and at least 90 days of ordinary payroll coverage — because real recovery takes longer than most worksheets assume.

[02:20] The process is simple: submit your review online, gather the documents — we guide you through it — and upload them to our secure site. You get a clear, defensible report you and your broker can rely on.

[02:45] Don't wait for a claim to find out you're underinsured. Submit a review at ropervaluation.com — and get covered with confidence.
