What is Commercial Property Insurance?

Your business has substantial money invested in tangible assets such as buildings, their contents, machinery and equipment, computer equipment and more. These items can be lost, damaged or destroyed by a variety of perils such as fire, windstorm and theft. Commercial Property Insurance provides the mechanism for your business to recoup the cost of replacing these items after a loss.

Commercial Property Coverage Forms

Basic Coverage

This covers you for damage by fire, lightning, explosion, windstorm, hail, smoke, falling aircraft, vehicles, riot, vandalism, sprinkler leakage or sinkhole collapse.

Broad Coverage

This extends your Basic Coverage to cover breakage of glass, falling objects and water damage.

Special Coverage

This extends your Broad Coverage to cover other unexpected perils including theft.

Replacement Cost

Coverage on a Replacement Cost basis pays you the cost to replace your property based on the current cost to rebuild or purchase replacement items. The amount you receive is not reduced for depreciation.

Actual Cash Value

This pays you the cost to replace your property based on the current cost to rebuild or purchase replacement items, less depreciation, for the years you have owned the property. Companies will offer this type of coverage on older buildings on which they are not willing to provide Replacement Cost coverage.

Coinsurance

Coinsurance requires that you insure your property for an amount not less than the specified percentage of it's value (Replacement Cost or Actual Cash Value, whichever applies). If you insure for less than the required amount, you can be responsible to pay for a portion of the loss in addition to your deductible. The following is an example.

Repl.	Limit	Limit	Amount	Policy	Insured
Value	Required	Carried	of Loss	Pays	Pays
	80%
-------------	-------------	-------------	------------	-------------	---------
$100,000	$80,000	$40,000	$20,000	$10,000	$10,000
$100,000	$80,000	$80,000	$20,000	$20,000

Business Income

This covers you for loss of net income and for necessary continuing expenses as a result of your being put out of business temporarily because of damage by a covered peril. The amount of coverage is limited by coinsurance requirements, maximum number of days or a maximum amount payable in any one month.

Extra Expense

This covers you for extra expenses incurred in order to keep your business operating with no interruption as a result of damage by a covered peril. This includes coverage for additional expenses incurred as a result of operating temporarily at a different location.

Fire Liability

This covers you for your liability for fire damage to the building that you lease should a fire occur as a result of negligence by you or your employees. Equipment that you lease may also be covered.

Plate Glass

This covers you for damage to plate glass fronts and doors from breakage or chemicals. The value of lettering or signs painted on the glass can also be included in the coverage for an additional premium.
