Although it is hard to forecast when the COVID-19 crisis will finally come to an end, one thing is certain: Even before that time, a lot of companies will see their balance sheets severely weakened by the prolonged closures, stay-at-home orders and downturn to the economy. An impaired balance sheet can adversely affect a company’s toolbox for addressing the underlying problems in numerous ways, from making it harder to attract capital investments or secure loans to decreasing a company’s value on a sale of the business.
An often overlooked and effective strategy for improving a company’s balance sheet is using specialized insurance products to replace all or a portion of the company’s balance sheet reserves with insurance. In addition to removing or reducing the reserves, insurance has the added benefit of being a tax-deductible expense.
