What makes Indiana different
Property coverage in Indiana should account for severe storms, tornadoes and winter freeze. Suburban Indianapolis growth has brought many new salon-suite buildings, where tenants and operators each need their own coverage.
Compare deductibles (including any separate wind, hail or named-storm deductible), whether equipment breakdown is included, and how long business income coverage waits before it starts.

No Indiana statute requires it for salons, but leases, lenders, salon suite operators and venues often do, and it protects the business from claims it would otherwise pay out of pocket.
