What It Is
Commercial property insurance helps cover your business building, contents (equipment, inventory, furniture), and often business income when a covered event (e.g., fire, theft, wind) causes a loss.
Who Needs It
Any business that owns or leases space and has property at risk—offices, retail, restaurants, warehouses, and more. Lenders often require it when you have a mortgage on commercial property.
What It Can Help Protect Against
Fire, lightning, wind, hail, theft, vandalism, and other perils as defined in the policy. Business income (loss of income) coverage can help replace lost revenue when you cannot operate due to a covered loss.
Related Industries
Restaurants, retail, contractors (equipment), real estate investors, and any business with physical assets.
