In fact, if you don’t get the proper coverage for all aspects of your resort business, you could experience problems like Barney L in our example story.

Barney and his wife Lindy loved the outdoors and after years of working hard and saving, they were able to put a down payment on a great lodge and resort between Minneapolis and Fargo. The place was situated in the wilderness but had some excellent cottages and some of the best fishing and hunting in the area. In addition, they also purchased a boat rental service on a nearby lake and people could buy things they needed from their tackle and bait shop.

Lindy and Barney loved their resort and they made sure to take out sufficient liability insurance for their property and boat rental business. However, Barney forgot one important aspect which every business should have. For years, he didn’t have adequate commercial property insurance for his rental units, and he didn’t even realize it.

Lindy’s friend Joan owned a fitness club in a nearby town and she told Lindy about her new insurance broker. The man was very knowledgeable and got her a great deal on her business insurance. Lindy talked Barney in to visiting the man and he was very helpful. In fact, they took out a new policy on their business with some important options.

Four months later, a line of strong thunderstorms swept across the state, spawning a number or tornadoes and one touched down at Barney and Lindy’s resort. Seven of the 15 rental units were virtually destroyed and four others suffered significant damage.

Thankfully, Barney had taken out replacement cost coverage on his rental units, four months earlier. If not, the payout for the damages would have been more than $40,000 less than the cost for replacing the units. It would have been enough to cause the Lodge to experience significant financial problems. This is only one example of why you need an insurance professional on your side, when you run a business.
