Spotlight on: Commercial Property Insurance

Also known as commercial property insurance, business property insurance is designed to protect the property and facilities owned or leased by a business. This coverage can also cover the equipment, tools, inventory and office furniture stored inside buildings or on the property itself.

In some cases, business property insurance can even be written in a way that helps cover risks to important documents and records. This protection can help a business with the cost of temporarily storing, reproducing or moving documents in the aftermath of a covered loss.

Does commercial property insurance cover flood damage?

While coverage against flood or earthquake damage is typically not included in standard Business Property Insurance policy, there is usually a way to add it as part of any property policy.

Can commercial property insurance cover third party property?

At Higginbotham, we realize certain businesses require the use of expensive equipment that doesn’t always make sense to buy yourself.

Whether you’re a general contractor renting a $250,000 crane or an IT firm storing an outside consultant’s laptop on your property, Higginbotham has you covered.

Does my business need commercial property insurance?

Before placing coverage, we take the time to understand and appreciate your business’ unique risks and needs.

While commercial property insurance may make sense for most businesses, we prefer to get to know your business by name, need and nuance before presenting coverage options.

Considering an uncovered loss of your office or shop could cause you the loss of your business as a whole, the peace of mind offered by commercial property insurance is often well worth the cost.

That said, we cannot overstress the importance of making these decisions with the help of a professional.

If you’re unsure commercial property insurance is the right call for your business, the following guidelines can help you assess your needs. If your business does any of the following, you should seriously consider commercial property insurance:
