It Took Time to Build Your Business. Use Commercial Insurance to Protect It.
Just as you would insure your home to protect you from massive loss in the event of damage or theft, you should also consider insuring your business. Commercial enterprises need commercial property insurance due to the often-higher risk associated with commercial properties.
Commercial Property Insurance – Who Needs It?
Not every business needs commercial property insurance. If you don’t have a physical space but want to protect other property, you might want to consider an inland marine insurance policy. For example, contractors may want to have contractor’s equipment insurance or builder’s risk insurance.
However, you should probably invest in commercial property insurance if you:
- Own or rent commercial office or storage space.
- Have valuable property, such as computers or specialized tools on site.
- Have property you rely on to run your business.

The building and related structures (signage, fencing, permanently installed fixtures, etc.)

Perils that are covered include:
