What does the extra expense coverage form provide?

The extra expense coverage form is specifically designed to help businesses continue their operations with minimal interruption after experiencing a loss due to a covered peril. This type of coverage assists in covering the additional costs that a business incurs to maintain its operations during the time that it is affected by a loss, allowing it to either continue operations at an alternate location or resume its normal business activities as quickly as possible.

By providing this coverage, businesses can pay for necessary expenses such as renting temporary equipment, hiring additional staff, or implementing overtime pay to ensure that their services or production processes remain active, even if their primary facilities are compromised. This is critical for maintaining customer relationships and retaining market share during recovery periods.

The other options describe different types of coverage that are not the focus of the extra expense form. Coverage for destroyed property speaks to the physical asset itself rather than operational continuity. Coverage for lost salaries relates to employee compensation, which is typically covered under different policies. Legal fees generally fall under liability coverage or specific legal expenses, rather than extra expense coverage aimed at business operations.
