Commercial Property Insurance

The building, what's in it, and the income it produces. Commercial property is the policy that lets you reopen after the bad day.

What Is Commercial Property Insurance?

Commercial property insurance covers the building your business owns or leases, the business personal property inside it — inventory, equipment, furniture, tenant improvements — and, with business income coverage, the revenue you lose while you cannot operate after a covered loss. Property is generally covered at the address shown on the declarations page, which is why tools in the truck and equipment at a job site are usually a separate inland marine question.

Why Commercial Property Insurance Matters

A commercial property form has conditions that decide what a claim actually pays. Coinsurance — commonly 80, 90 or 100 percent — sets a minimum limit relative to the building's value; fall short of it and even a partial loss is paid at a reduced ratio, before the deductible. A vacancy condition commonly kicks in after 60 consecutive days empty and cuts coverage for vandalism, water damage and theft. Construction costs move; building limits often don't. That gap is how a business that never changed anything ends up short.

Who Needs Commercial Property Insurance?

Main-street storefronts, shops, restaurants, churches, warehouses, contractors with a yard, landlords with a commercial building, and any tenant who owns the fixtures and inventory inside someone else's walls. If you have a building between tenants, or a seasonal inventory swing, there are specific endorsements for both.

Local Considerations

We live in storm country, and the same wind and hail questions that come with a house apply to a commercial roof — plus the ones a home never gets asked, like whether the limit still matches today's rebuild cost and whether the building has sat empty. Tupelo retailers see real seasonal inventory swings; a peak season endorsement adds a scheduled limit for scheduled dates. Older main-street buildings in our footprint raise the ordinance-or-law question, because rebuilding to current code costs more than rebuilding what was there.

Commercial Property Insurance Questions We Actually Get

Straight answers to what people ask us around here.

What is coinsurance on a commercial property policy?

A percentage — commonly 80, 90 or 100 — that sets the minimum limit you have to carry relative to the property's insurable value. Carry less, and the loss payment is reduced by the ratio of the limit carried to the limit required, before the deductible comes out. It applies to partial losses, which is where most claims live.

What happens to coverage if my building sits empty?

Many commercial property forms include a vacancy condition that starts after the building has been vacant for more than 60 consecutive days. Once it applies, common versions stop paying for vandalism, glass breakage, water damage and theft, and reduce payment on other covered losses. A vacancy permit or a vacant-building policy is the usual way to handle a long gap between tenants.

Does the policy cover my lost income while we're closed?

Only if business income coverage is on it. It replaces the income you lose while you cannot operate because of a covered property loss, typically after a waiting period, often 72 hours, and through a defined period of restoration. Extra expense is the companion piece: it pays the cost of staying open somewhere else instead of the cost of being closed.

My holiday inventory doubles. Is it covered?

On most commercial property and businessowners policies the business personal property limit is one number, and it does not rise when stock arrives. Some businessowners forms include an automatic seasonal increase, commonly 25 percent, with conditions attached. A peak season endorsement adds a scheduled amount for scheduled dates. Tell us when your stock peaks and we will set it up before it does.
