What’s commercial property insurance?

Also known as business property insurance, it covers the building and property that make up your business, whether you own, lease or work from home. This includes things like your building structure, important documents and other tools you use to run your business.‍ ‍ See note 1

What type of business needs property insurance?

If your business owns or rents anything of value — from lawnmowers to office furniture — you should consider commercial property insurance.

No matter the size or type of your company — from one landscaper to hundreds of employees — every business is exposed to risk. Fires, storms, theft, vandalism, burst pipes, even riots can disrupt your business. Commercial property insurance can help cover costs to keep it running.

If your business needs coverage beyond what commercial property insurance can provide, check out our other solutions for small business insurance.

What does commercial property insurance cover?

It can cover your business’s physical assets based on actual cash value, agreed value or what it costs to replace them. These could include:

Buildings

The structure you own or rent.

Business Personal Property

Computers, refrigerators, inventory and more

Other Property Features

Signs, glass, fencing and lighting

Other coverages you can add​

There are more than 100 ways to customize your policy. Here are some popular options.‍ ‍ See note 2

Business Interruption

This can help cover your expenses and lost income if you have to close for an extended period, like if your roof collapses or a storm knocks a tree into your building.

Additional Insured

This may extend your coverage to a third party, like a vendor or subcontractor.

Service Interruption

This could help protect your income if you lose electricity from damage that happens off your premises, like downed powerlines from a storm.

Civil Authority

This may help protect your income if the government denies access to your property because of natural disasters, riots or terrorism.
