Commercial Property Insurance FAQs
Does commercial property insurance cover hurricanes and wind damage in Florida?
Yes, but wind and hurricane coverage may be excluded from standard policies in high-risk areas. In Florida, many insurers require separate wind policies or higher deductibles for named storms. We can help you secure windstorm insurance or deductible buyback options to ensure you’re fully covered.
How does business interruption insurance work, and do I need it?
Business interruption insurance covers lost income if a covered disaster temporarily forces your business to close. If your property is damaged by fire, storms, or another covered event, this policy helps pay for lost revenue, rent, payroll, and ongoing expenses until you can reopen.
What factors impact the cost of my commercial property insurance?
Your premium depends on location, building age, construction type, roof condition, and security measures. Businesses near the coast, in flood zones, or in high-crime areas may face higher costs, but upgrades like reinforced roofing and security systems can lower your rate.
Do I need commercial property insurance if I lease my business space?
Yes! Even if you don’t own the building, you’re responsible for business assets, tenant improvements, and liability inside your leased space. Many commercial leases require tenants to carry property insurance to protect against unexpected damages.
