Commercial property insurance is generally designed to help protect the physical assets your business depends on — from the building itself to the equipment and inventory inside it.
Buildings and Structures
If you own your building, commercial property coverage is typically intended to help repair or replace the structure following a covered loss such as fire or certain weather events, subject to policy terms.
Business Personal Property
Beyond the building, commercial property coverage often extends to business personal property — items like furniture, equipment, inventory, and fixtures that make your operations possible.
Business Interruption Considerations
Some property policies can be extended to include business interruption or business income coverage, which is generally designed to help address lost income and certain ongoing expenses if a covered event forces operations to pause.
Coverage details, limits, and exclusions vary, so it is important to understand exactly what your policy includes.
