FAQs

  • Do I need this if I lease my building?

    Yes-tenants are often responsible for their own contents, signage, and any lease-required improvements. We'll review your lease and explain what you're on the hook for.

  • Is flood damage covered?

    No-commercial property insurance does not cover flood damage. We can help you add a separate flood policy if your location is in a risk area.

  • How are claims paid?

    You can choose replacement cost (new for old) or actual cash value (which factors in depreciation). We'll help you understand the difference and make the right call.

  • Does this cover my outdoor signage or fencing?

    It can, but usually requires an add-on or endorsement. Let us know what's part of your property-we'll make sure it's protected.

  • Can I combine this with liability coverage?

    Yes-many small businesses bundle commercial property and liability in a Business Owner's Policy (BOP). Ask us if that's a better fit for your operation.
