Commercial Property Insurance

A commercial property policy generally covers your building, business personal property such as equipment and inventory, and in many cases tenant improvements and lost business income. Coverage depends on the policy's terms, limits, deductibles, and exclusions.

Often yes. A landlord's policy covers the building itself, not your equipment, inventory, furnishings, or the improvements you've made to the space. A commercial property policy or a business owners policy can cover the property you're responsible for.

Florida commercial property policies commonly apply a separate deductible for named storm or windstorm losses, often calculated as a percentage of the insured value rather than a flat amount. Some policies exclude wind entirely, requiring separate coverage. This is worth reviewing carefully before hurricane season.

Commercial property policies generally exclude flood. A separate flood policy is typically needed for damage from rising water and storm surge, which is a common exposure for Florida businesses.

A business owners policy, or BOP, bundles property coverage with general liability and often business income coverage in one package, usually for smaller businesses. Standalone commercial property coverage may suit businesses that need higher limits or terms a packaged policy does not offer.

Building limits generally reflect the cost to rebuild rather than market value, and business personal property limits should reflect the cost to replace your equipment and inventory. Underinsuring can trigger a coinsurance penalty at claim time, so the valuation is worth getting right.
