Under the BOP, which item is subject to a special limitation for business income losses?

• A. Inventory
• B. Accounts receivable
• C. Equipment
• D. Foundations and retaining walls

Answer: (D)

Under a Businessowners Policy, business income coverage is available to help you recover lost income when operations are interrupted by a covered loss, but certain property types have a separate, smaller sub-limit. Foundations and retaining walls are structural parts of the building, and damage to them is limited by a special BI limit. This reflects that while such damage can be costly to repair, it’s not directly tied to sustaining normal business operations in the same way as losses to inventory or other business income drivers. So, when a business income loss is tied to damage to foundations or retaining walls, the amount recoverable is subject to that specific, reduced limit. The other items listed do not carry this particular structural sub-limit.
