What is commercial property insurance?

Commercial property insurance is designed to cover the costs of repairing or replacing any property your business owns, in the event of a covered claim. With appropriate coverage, you can feel more confident that setbacks won't stand in the way of your success.

Some examples of commercial property that you would insure include:

  • Office buildings
  • Restaurants
  • Retail stores
  • Farmland
  • Warehouses
  • Repair shops
  • Manufacturing plants
  • Salons

What can commercial property cover?

Here's a look at how different types of commercial property coverage can help protect your business.

  • Building or property damage
    If your business building or business property are destroyed due to a covered loss, such as a fire or theft, costs could add up quickly.
  • You can't open your business
    Your business is damaged due to a fire and you cannot operate until repairs are made.
  • Damage to property while off premise
    While in transit to a customer or vendor's location, you are involved in an accident, and your tools and equipment are damaged.
  • Computer hack
    It is discovered that someone hacked into your bank account and transferred funds out of your account.
  • Power outage
    The utility company's transformer blows and you lose power to your business.
  • Stolen cash
    Money stolen from your company in a theft or burglary could lead to hardship.
  • Customer items are stolen
    While a customer's goods are in your care, someone breaks in overnight and steals their items.
  • Damaged or destroyed documents
    A pipe bursts and leaks over a filing cabinet that contains critical documents. Many documents are damaged and others are completely destroyed. This makes it difficult for you to collect payments from customers.

Commercial property insurance FAQs

If you lease or rent property for your business, a commercial property policy would serve as additional protection and mitigate any financial risks from potential property damage.

Your landlord may even require it, so be sure to check your lease agreement.

In most cases, commercial property insurance is not required by law. However, it is recommended that businesses have a policy to cover the costs of repair or replace damaged property after a covered claim.

A business owner’s policy, or BOP, is property and general liability coverage combined into one convenient package. With a BOP, you’ll have the coverages of both policies without having to apply for two separate ones.
