Commercial Property Coverage
Commercial property insurance in the United States provides protection to businesses against loss or damage to their physical assets, such as buildings, equipment and inventory, due to events such as fire, theft or natural disasters. This coverage can also include business interruption, protecting against loss of income due to covered events. Owners can customize the policy to their specific business needs to ensure complete protection and financial peace of mind.
What is commercial property insurance?
Commercial property insurance is a type of financial protection created specifically to protect commercial property. Even the most minimalist home-based business is guaranteed to have some type of property to help run the business. Computers and office equipment, vehicles for transporting goods and providing services - these are all important business assets that will cost you dearly if lost or damaged. This form of insurance is very similar to homeowner's property insurance, although it has broader coverage and higher limits than homeowner's insurance.
