Is Commercial Property Insurance Required?

Commercial store fronts in Florida

Believe it or not, commercial property insurance isn’t generally required by any state or federal law. This doesn’t mean that there aren’t instances where you may be required to have this insurance, however. Even without a requirement, commercial property insurance is crucial to cover the physical assets of your business.

When is Commercial Property Insurance Required?

In some cases, you may be required to carry commercial property insurance if you are renting or leasing a location. Your landlord or property owner may require you to carry insurance in order to cover the property from damages.

Why Do You Need Commercial Property Insurance?

Aside from requirements, commercial property insurance is crucial in order to keep the physical location of your business and its contents protected.

Without this insurance, you may face paying to repair or rebuild your business out of pocket. This can be especially difficult for small businesses that do not have a heavy financial cushion in case of accidents.

What Does Commercial Property Insurance Cover?

This insurance can provide compensation for damages to your business’ physical assets caused by fire, wind, hail, lightning, smoke, falling objects, theft, vandalism and more. This can cover the physical location such as a store or office as well as contents such as equipment, furniture, decoration and more.

  • Equipment Breakdown Insurance: Equipment breakdown insurance provides compensation for equipment that suddenly breaks down. This is especially useful for businesses that depend heavily on expensive equipment, such as restaurant freezers and refrigerators.
  • Commercial Auto Insurance: Commercial auto insurance covers commercial vehicles owned or used by the business for work purposes. If your business transports equipment, products or people, you will need this insurance to cover the driver, passengers and your business in case of an accident. These insurance policies can include much of the same coverage as a personal auto insurance policy such as comprehensive coverage, collision coverage, liability, medical payments coverage and uninsured/underinsured motorist coverage.
  • Sewer Backup Insurance: Sewer backup insurance helps cover flood and water damage caused by sewer backup in your physical location. Most water damage is excluded from basic commercial property insurance policies, so be sure to speak with your insurance agent about adding additional coverage.
