Commercial Property Insurance FAQs

  • Do I need this if I rent my business space?

    Yes. While your landlord insures the building, you’re responsible for your equipment, furniture, and inventory inside.

  • Is commercial property coverage required by lenders?

    Often, yes—especially if you’re financing or leasing space. We’ll help you meet lender requirements while protecting your assets.

  • Does this cover loss due to theft or fire?

    Yes. These are common covered events—but we’ll review your policy together to confirm all included protections.

  • What about equipment stored off-site?

    Some policies include off-premises coverage. We’ll make sure your mobile or stored tools are protected properly.
