What is your average income per day for a period of 30-60 days? Do you have a yellow page ad and ads in other print and or electronic media? How do you get business ie. print ads, tv, radio, internet, word of mouth, referrals etc. Do you have a cellular telephone or a pager? Are these numbers listed on your advertising, such as those mentioned above and including business cards, website etc. Could past clients have still contacted you through your cellular telephone of pager? What type of clients do you serve ie. sightseeing tours for tourists, high school proms, VIP transportation, normal airport to hotel service, standard limo taxi service etc. Do you get contracts booked days/weeks in advance or are most of your customers same or next day contracts? Only you know your business and your estimated loss. Do you have insurance to cover this type of loss. If so, contact your insurance carrier.
