Commercial Property Insurance
Get commercial property insurance to cover the costs of repairing (or rebuilding) your business premises, replacing equipment or stock.What is commercial property insurance?
Commercial property insurance covers the cost of repairing or rebuilding your business premises. Additional coverage includes replacing your equipment or stock.
There are two types of this insurance:
- Buildings insurance
- Contents insurance
These can cover you for risks such as burst pipes (and the escape of water), falling trees, fire, flooding and storms.
Commercial property building insurance
Property commercial insurance covers the cost of repairing or rebuilding your business premises if damaged or destroyed.
It isn’t a legal requirement. However, it’s good business practice to have a policy. The cost of repairing or rebuilding your buildings could be prohibitive without the relevant cover in place.
If you rent your premises, buildings insurance is your landlord’s responsibility. Yet you still may consider taking out contents insurance to protect your assets.
Business interruption insurance
Additionally, you may wish to get further coverage. Business interruption insurance covers you if you can’t do further business due to an unforeseen event that damages your business or assets.
This covers shortfalls in pre-tax profits resulting from an event and increases in costs from running your business due to the event.
Who needs commercial property insurance?
Businesses who own their property, or rent from a landlord, should ensure this insurance is in place.
Property owners letting to third-parties for commercial use should also ensure they have commercial property insurance
If you don’t, and your property is damaged or destroyed, you will have to pay in full to restore or repair your building.
