Comprehensive Commercial Property Insurance
Protect Your Business by Protecting Your Property
Commercial property insurance is essential for business owners. Whether you own or lease an office, warehouse, or factory, this coverage is important. Even if you work from home, it is vital. For small business owners, including those operating home-based businesses, commercial property insurance is crucial. It is a key part of a Business Owners Policy. This policy also includes general liability, making it more affordable for you and your business.
Commercial Property Insurance Coverage
Commercial property insurance protects your building and physical assets. This includes office equipment and outdoor items, such as signs and fencing. Computers are vital assets for any business. But what happens if a fire occurs? It’s not just your computer that could be destroyed; important information and data may also be lost. This loss can significantly impact your business operations.
On top of that, basic commercial property insurance usually covers losses caused by fire, lightning, wind, and hail.
