What is commercial property insurance?
Commercial property insurance is a necessity for businesses of all sizes. Whether you own a small retail store or manage a large office building, this insurance protects your investment and keeps your operations running, even in the face of unexpected challenges.
The insurance itself is a bespoke policy designed to protect your company’s physical assets against risks such as fire, theft, vandalism, and flood damage. Unlike residential property insurance, its commercial counterpart addresses the unique needs of businesses. It helps cover repair or replacement costs following a loss – vital for any commercial operation.
What does commercial property insurance cover?
Building coverage
Protects the physical structure of your commercial property – including the walls, roof, and foundation – against damages caused by covered perils like fire, floods, and vandalism.
Contents insurance
The contents within your property, from office equipment to inventory and raw materials, are covered. They are protected from risks such as theft and water damage.
Business interruption insurance
Compensates for lost income and additional expenses if your business operations are disrupted. If your property is being repaired or rebuilt, you can maintain financial stability.
Equipment breakdown insurance
Covers the cost of repairing or replacing business equipment that fails due to mechanical or electrical breakdowns. Key for any company relying on specialised machinery or technology.
Tenant improvements
Protects any improvements or alterations you’ve made to a leased commercial space. This could be a customised office layout, fixtures, or interior finishes.
What's not included as part of commercial property insurance coverage
Yes, commercial property insurance delivers thorough protection for your company’s physical assets. However, certain risks and damages are typically excluded from standard policies. These exclusions often include:
- Wear and tear: Regular maintenance issues, such as wear and tear or gradual deterioration of property and equipment, are not covered. This includes damage resulting from a lack of maintenance.
- Unoccupied properties: Leave your property empty for a specific amount of time, and this can lead to your policy being invalidated. This unoccupied time is usually 30 days or more.
- Poor craftmanship: If you cause damage due to low-quality craftmanship or sloppy repairs, this typically won’t be covered under your policy. Remember: DIY fixes could invalidate your claim.
- Damage by animals or pests: You’ll struggle to find a policy that covers damage caused by vermin and insects. This also includes domestic pets.
The importance of commercial property insurance
Safeguards business assets: Commercial property insurance protects your company’s physical assets, ensuring you don’t face crippling financial losses due to damage or theft.
Business continuity: With coverage for business interruption, commercial property insurance helps your business survive financially during downtime caused by unexpected events. You can pay bills, salaries, and other expenses.
Customisable coverage: Commercial property insurance policies can be tailored to your specific business needs. It allows you to select the best coverage to protect your assets fully.
Risk management: Having commercial property insurance is a key element of a broader risk management strategy. It helps safeguard against unexpected financial risks.
