Event Cancellation Insurance - Make Sure You Have It
Event cancellation insurance, it is one of the most overlooked forms of
insurance cover that a professional might shop for. Most new business
owners and event coordinators never look at the strengths and weaknesses
of having this kind of insurance. Having this type of insurance can
save you thousands if not hundreds of thousands if your event has to be
cancelled for any reason. Imagine the money you would lose if you put
thousands into an event that brought you absolutely no revenue. To
prevent thousands of event coordinators from losing their shirts there
is a range of companies that offer varying degrees of event cancellation
insurance for your protection.
If you were throwing an outdoor
concert for several thousand attendees as a benefit for a certain
charity and you have ten famous artists at your event, what would you do
if it started to rain at the event? Probably no much right because
that kind of thing happens all the time, people will just hang out in
the rain and watch the concert anyway. If you had a headliner who cost
you forty thousand dollars to have attended your fund-raising event and
that person called to cancel because he or she has a throat infection,
what would you do? This might prompt you to cancel your event
entirely. Event cancellation insurance is created for just this very
reason. Cancelling a multi million dollar event, or even an event of
several thousand, can be devastating for your business and your
reputation. To avoid the possibility of financial ruin as a result of
cancelling your event, it is always recommended that you apply and pay
for some cancellation cover. The price of the cover is minute in
comparison to the amount of money you could be losing if you did not
have the cover. Save yourself both the money and your reputation by
being smart in the first place. Pay for the event cancellation
insurance to ensure you are covered from all sides, legal, cancellation,
and property damage. All responsible business people and event
coordinators have to think about their insurance cover before they even
begin to plan their events. Coverage like this ensures your business
can make money without the worries that come with managing and
coordinating events of any size, however the larger the event the bigger
the risk. To avoid any embarrassments you should always have
cancellation cover and legal liability cover. The liability cover will
protect you in the event that an attendee is injured while attending
your function while the cancellation cover will protect you from the
financial hardships that come along with not being able to complete your
show or event. If you are a responsible events coordinator you will
undoubtedly already be aware of the importance of the appropriate
insurance coverage when you are preparing for the event of the century
for your company, but for new coordinators it is important to understand
the benefits of insurance for these sorts of things. Get the
insurance, save yourself the money.
