Some of our business equipments have been stolen while some got damaged, but we've minimal damages caused to our financial records.
It was immediately reported to the police. Does business interruption insurance cover our lost profits? How do we file such claims?

Your adjuster should tell you what documentation is needed to evaluate your claim. The coverage you have depends on the coverage you purchased.

If you're intending to file a business interruption claim, inform your agent about the damages that have been caused to you. It's good that you've reported the burglary already. Go through your policy papers to see if you'd need any photo documentation. Also getting an estimation for your damages might help you in filing the claim.

Make repairs to your damages temporarily in order to protect your property. It would be easier for the claims adjuster to evaluate the damages if the damaged parts are saved from further damages.

Keeping a track of your costs and profits is absolutely necessary. If your financial records are properly maintained then Business interruption insurance would certainly cover your profits under a disaster. Get detailed information on your vendors and maintain all bills, receipts etc. in a proper way. Make sure you're in a position to disclose your business income excluding the period of loss.
