What Kind of Businesses are Eligible for BP Compensation?

If your business has been affected negatively in the 2010 Oil spill in the Gulf, then you will need to make sure that you are applying for some sort of a compensation.  Between the agreement of the United States government and BP Corporation, a certain amount of money has been put forward by BP to handle these bp business claims.

Many companies have lost profit due to loss of income and some even have gone bankrupt as a result.  Some of the businesses have applied for bp claims, but many companies have been disappointed in the results.

 First of all, you will need to make sure that your business falls in to the category that can benefit from the bp business claims. Especially touristic businesses that are located in the Gulf area have been affected negatively, so if you are a touristic business, then you can definitely apply for bp business claims. Of course, touristic businesses also encompass other things such as hotels, restaurants, tour operators, boat operators, souvenir shops etc. 

Of course, even taxi owners can be eligible for compensation, since their businesses also got effected and they were eligible to apply for business bp claims. Another business sector that has been effected severely is the fishing business. Hence, in order to facilitate this, fisherman and especially those who were in the shrimp collection business have been eligible for filing for bp business claims.
