Problem
Interruption risk
Other Names:
Risk of break in routine
Nature:
Business is conducted to earn a return for its owners or at least to recoup the expenses incurred. Those expenses cannot be terminated immediately if a business stops due to fire, theft, breakdown or other form of interruption. Also some expenses not diminish proportionately to lower sales during partial interruption. This financial strain rapidly erodes a net profit into a loss.
