Property

Property insurance provides protection for insured perils against property damage.

Protecting the tangible assets of a business is relatively easy from an identification perspective. Building, stock, equipment, leaseholds and improvements, computers can be identified. When these property classes are insured on a broad form wording, Replacement cost basis, with a tolerable deductible level, the foundations of a good property insurance policy are in place.

It is important, as business acquisitions are fluid, that newly acquired assets are reported in a timely way. Also, and most critical, is proper valuation of assets.  Securing limits   that are 100% to value will avoid any coinsurance, which can be a policyholder’s unexpected and costly participation in a loss.

Commercial Property insurance covers physical damage to tangible assets only. Intellectual property such as copyrights, trade secrets, and patents fall outside scope of this policy.
