Cheap Commercial Property Insurance Solutions with LMBF

Where would your business be without its physical property? Many small businesses overlook the importance of commercial property insurance, especially if they operate out of a leased office or work from home.

This protection includes coverage for the physical building as well as its assets and exterior fixtures against common perils, such as natural weather events like fire, wind, and hail, and activities such as theft and vandalism. LMBF can help you find a cheap commercial property insurance plan today.

What is commercial property insurance?

Commercial property insurance is a commercial policy designed to protect your physical business. Unlike commercial general liability, commercial property insurance offers financial recourse for insurable events that cause physical losses or damages, such as fires, vandalism, theft, and so on. Depending on your policy type, you can opt for an all-risk policy or a named perils option.

Commercial Property Insurance for These Business Sectors:

Commercial property insurance is designed for a number of different sectors - or basically any business that utilizes a physical property. Even if your business is remote or virtual, you may still have a warehouse where inventory is stored, or your home-based office needs coverage to ensure that you have a backup if anything happens. LMBF is happy to help designate coverage for numerous sectors and industries within Canada. See below for some examples of the business sectors that may benefit from commercial property insurance.

Commercial Property Insurance: Frequently Asked Questions

A: Commercial property insurance protects your building, its contents, and even its exterior fixtures, such as any fencing, landscaping, outdoor signs, and so on. Depending on your policy type, either all risk or named perils, your policy will include coverage for every risk apart from those specifically named in your policy or only those listed under insurable perils.

A: Any business that requires a brick-and-mortar building needs commercial property insurance. This is true even if you run an e-commerce website but have a physical warehouse where inventory is stored. Commercial property insurance covers your physical assets, both inside and out from losses or damages due to fire, weather events, theft, and more.

A: It depends. How big is your commercial property? How do you use it? The coverage needs of your business will vary. You don’t need the same policy for a home-based office as you do for a huge garage that stores inventory for a multimillion-dollar retail enterprise. If you are unsure as to the amount of coverage you require for your commercial property, discuss with LMBF’s commercial property insurance brokers for advice.

A: Yes, acts of theft and vandalism are covered by commercial property insurance. There may be some exceptions, however. Employee dishonesty or fraud from staff members may require a separate crime insurance or employee dishonesty policy in order to have coverage.

A: The cost of commercial property insurance is largely dependent on the building size, the way it is used, the year it was built, the materials it is built from, its utility systems and their age, its proximity to potential liability hazards, its proximity to the nearest fire station or hydrant, and more. The higher the risk, the higher you may expect your premiums to be.

A: Commercial property insurance is typically not required, depending on your line of business. However, if you do not own your commercial space but rather rent or lease it, you may be required by the property owner to provide evidence of commercial property insurance. This ensures that their investment has a financial safety net if anything happens.
