Burnt Out

Did you ever stop to consider the after effects of what happens to a commercial business when they have a major disaster?  Let’s just think about your favorite restaurant that you and your friends have a standing every other Saturday night get-together.  Suddenly your favorite restaurant has a fire.  Of course, the local fire department was called in to put out the fire and then the fire marshal came in to determine the cause.  The report in the local newspaper said it was due to an electrical short from the overhead lighting.  The photos were devastating and “your booth” is now covered in black soot along with everything else in the restaurant!  What happens next?

Your favorite restaurant will probably be out of business for many, many months if not a year or longer to clean and repair the damages – as well as a loss of income to them.  If they don’t own the building and only rent, they must continue to pay rent without any income to offset it.  For some businesses in this situation, it may put them out of business without having the insurance to cover that loss.  What about you and your friends?  Will you wait that long for them to recover and be back in business?  You will probably have found a “new” favorite restaurant.
