Protection for Business Owners

Mutual of Omaha Insurance Company’s (Mutual of Omaha) Disability Income Choice Portfolio® offers disability insurance policies designed to help protect your business and extend vital coverage to you and your employees.

Business Overhead Expense Insurance

Business Overhead Expense Insurance helps business owners maintain their business in the event they become disabled due to a sickness or injury.

If you own a business, no matter how comprehensive your medical coverage may be, or how much individual disability insurance you may have, it’s important to have money available to help cover monthly expenses for your business if you become disabled. Expenses such as: employee salaries, rent, utilities, maintenance, taxes, interest on business loans, and so on.

Coverage is flexible and can be tailored to your business needs and budget.
And premiums may be tax deductible. Certain business professionals who are sole proprietors, partners and stockholders/employees of a business may use premiums for the policy as a direct business expense.*

Your business enterprise depends on you. That’s why it’s important to plan now. Business Overhead Expense Insurance is an essential part of financial protection for your business.
