From fire to theft — your business needs more than luck. A single fire, storm, or burglary could wipe out the tools, inventory, or equipment your business relies on daily. Commercial property insurance addresses this need.
Whether you're operating in Georgia, Texas, Florida, Illinois, Alabama, Arizona, or beyond, OnePoint Insurance Agency helps organizations protect physical assets through comprehensive coverage options.
What Commercial Property Insurance Covers
Commercial property insurance provides repair or replacement of physical business assets after a covered event.
Typical coverage includes:
- Building — offices, warehouses, or retail buildings you own
- Business personal property — equipment, inventory, computers, furniture
- Tenant improvements — upgrades made to leased spaces
- Loss of income — covers lost revenue from property damage shutdowns (if included in a BOP)
- Debris removal & cleanup — post-disaster cleanup assistance
Covered perils often include fire, lightning, windstorms, theft, and vandalism. Flood and earthquake protection require separate policies.
What's Not Covered
Understanding exclusions proves equally important as knowing inclusions.
Exclusions:
- Flood and earthquake damage — requires separate policies
- Wear and tear — rust, corrosion, and general deterioration
- Employee theft — usually covered under commercial crime policies
- Utility failures or data loss — may require endorsements like spoilage or cyber insurance
Optional endorsements:
- Equipment breakdown
- Outdoor signage
- Civil authority business interruption
- Valuable papers and electronics
Who Needs Commercial Property Insurance?
If you rely on any kind of physical space, inventory, or tools to run your business, this coverage is a must.
- Business owners with physical storefronts, restaurants, or warehouses
- Leased offices with improvements or renovations
- Inventory-reliant businesses — retail, e-commerce, manufacturing
- Companies operating in disaster-prone areas (Florida hurricanes, Arizona wildfires)
- Professionals with valuable tools, electronics, or POS systems
Frequently Asked Questions
Does it cover my inventory?
Yes — if damaged by a covered peril like fire, theft, or vandalism. Make sure your policy reflects peak inventory levels.
Do I need this if I lease my office or store?
Yes. Your landlord's policy covers the building structure, not your contents or tenant improvements.
Is lost income from a shutdown covered?
If you carry a Business Owner's Policy (BOP), yes — it often includes business income coverage to replace lost revenue.
How do I determine how much coverage I need?
Start with the value of your building (if applicable), furnishings, tools, equipment, and inventory. OnePoint can help calculate accurate replacement cost.
What's the difference between replacement cost and actual cash value?
- Replacement cost pays the full price to replace damaged items with new ones.
- Actual cash value deducts depreciation, resulting in a lower payout.
