The mission of the Insurance Information Institute (I.I.I.) is to improve public understanding of insurance -- what it does and how it works.

For more than 40 years, the I.I.I. has provided definitive insurance information. Today, the I.I.I. is recognized by the media, governments, regulatory organizations, universities and the public as a primary source of information, analysis and referral concerning insurance.

The I.I.I. Web site answers business insurance questions, such as:

What does a businessowner policy cover?

How can I insure my home-based business?

Do I need business interruption insurance?

Are there any disasters my property insurance won't cover?

How can I disaster-proof my business?

How do I file a business insurance claim?
