Calculating your inventory insurance coverage level
When it comes to protecting your business investments and assets, inventory coverage is often a confusing piece of the puzzle. Inventory levels can fluctuate in an extreme way, depending on how sales are going, how much cash is on hand to invest, and the costs of acquiring your inventory. And, if you are a seasonal business, it can make the calculation even more difficult.
The first step is to review your inventory levels over the past three years. If there are any outliers that are due to non-recurring events or occurrences, they should be removed from your calculation. Take a look at the normalized average over the analysis period and then consider what changes you anticipate in the coming year.
If you expect delivery of goods and sales to continue on the same trajectory as the previous three years, then use those numbers to decide on the level of inventory protection you need, adjusting for any future anticipated changes.
