What's Included & What's Not?

While the specifics of coverage can vary between insurers, Commercial Property Insurance is primarily designed to protect business owners from financial losses related to their physical assets. This type of insurance generally covers damage to buildings, contents, and other property from perils such as fire, theft, and natural disasters. It typically includes compensation for repair or replacement costs and may extend to cover loss of income due to business interruption. For example, if a fire damages your business premises, Commercial Property Insurance could cover the costs of repairs and may also compensate for the loss of income while the property is being restored. Coverage may also include additional protections depending on the specifics of your policy and the insurer.
