What the coverages mean

Plain words for every line on a quote

Building

The structure, permanently installed fixtures and machinery, against fire, wind, hail, vandalism and the other perils named.

Valued at replacement cost by the carrier; underinsurance can reduce a claim payment.

Business personal property

Contents: furniture, equipment, stock, tenant improvements.

The part a tenant insures when the landlord insures the building.

Business income

Lost income and continuing expenses while a covered loss keeps the business closed.

Often the largest loss after a fire, and the one most often left off.

Equipment breakdown

Sudden mechanical or electrical failure of boilers, HVAC, refrigeration, computers.

Standard property policies exclude it.

Ordinance or law

The extra cost to rebuild to current code, and to demolish the undamaged part when the law requires.

Older buildings carry the biggest gap here.

Not included: liability

Commercial property covers the property. Injuries to customers, products, and operations need general liability or a Business Owners Policy.

Ask for it on the form and it is quoted separately.

Questions people ask

Does this cover someone getting hurt in my store?

No. That is general liability, or a Business Owners Policy that combines property and liability. Tick "also interested in" on the form and your representative quotes it alongside.

Is a quote a binding offer?

No. A quote is an estimate prepared from the details you give. The carrier confirms the final rate, coverage and eligibility before any policy is bound, and nothing is charged until you choose to proceed.

Which carriers do you quote?

The licensed professional assigned to your request quotes the carriers they are appointed with in your state. We name the carrier on every quote we send you.

Who sees my information?

The representative assigned to your request and the agency that supervises them. It is not sold or shared for marketing.

Also from For The People

Ready when you are.

A quote is an estimate prepared from the details you give. The carrier values the building and confirms the final rate and eligibility before any policy is bound. Commercial property insurance does not cover liability; general liability or a Business Owners Policy is quoted separately.
