Business Owners · Maryland

Maryland business overhead costs don't pause for illness. Your coverage should.

A Maryland business owner who becomes disabled faces two simultaneous crises: personal income stops and business expenses continue. Disability coverage addresses both — separately.

Three income protection gaps Maryland business owners carry

Maryland has a strong professional services and government contracting business community. These business owners have above-average income exposure and below-average disability coverage.

🏢

Maryland business overhead can exceed $20,000 per month

Bethesda and Rockville commercial rents plus payroll create significant monthly overhead. A BOE policy covers those expenses for up to 24 months while you recover.

📋

Maryland has no state disability program

Maryland business owners have no state short-term disability backstop. Individual disability income policies are the only protection available beyond whatever the business can sustain.

💼

Contract obligations continue through disability

Maryland government contractors often have performance obligations written into their contracts. A disability doesn't automatically pause those. BOE coverage gives you the financial runway to manage the transition.

Disability income questions from Maryland business owners

Carriers typically want 2 years of personal tax returns showing Schedule C or K-1 income, plus a current P&L statement. We'll tell you exactly what documents each carrier requires.
Yes. Employee salaries are among the most important covered expenses under a BOE policy. Keeping your team employed while you recover protects both the business and your relationships.
Individual DI policies can pay to age 65. BOE policies typically have maximum benefit periods of 12 to 24 months, which is designed to cover a recovery period rather than permanent disability.
Yes, but with some limitations. Newer businesses may have lower initial benefit amounts. After 2 years of documented income, the full qualifying benefit becomes available.
No. APB Financial Architect is an independent insurance specialist, not a registered investment advisor or financial planner. The services here cover insurance products: life insurance, disability income, annuities, and voluntary benefits. For investment advice or securities, you'd need to work with a licensed investment advisor or broker-dealer. Insurance products are not securities and do not involve investment advice.
