How Does Commercial Property Insurance Protect Your Business?

Commercial property insurance in Reno, NV can help cover your building if you are responsible for it, according to your lease, or if you own it. Not only does it cover the building, but it also covers the contents of the building. This can include furniture, fixtures, machinery, and equipment. Even when property is away from the premise, you will still have coverage.

There are a number of benefits of this insurance that can protect your business such as help with recovery after a loss. The longer your business operations are slowed, then the worse your situation will be. The right policy can help you get your business up and running and help you with some of the long-term costs that come with a disaster. By limiting the downtime, you can also help your reputation with customers and make sure they come back. Policies can also help with repair costs with damaged property. If the property can’t be repaired, it can be replaced. If you have a restaurant, then your commercial property insurance can help replace any damaged kitchen equipment after a fire. You can’t always control what happens to your business. Natural disasters, such as winter storms, hail, and fires, can happen at any time and cause sudden property damage.

Even with the coverage, you still need to be aware of certain things that aren’t covered under a typical policy that you may need endorsements for. An agent at Hinman & Associates Insurance can help you find the right coverage to make sure that your business equipment is protected. Commercial autos, signs not attached to the building, and outdoor fences won’t usually be covered. If you need coverage for these items, there are additional coverage options.

My Friend Had His Laptop Stolen From My House. Will My Homeowners Insurance Cover This?

Homeowners insurance covers the loss of personal property by other people while they are in your home. Anyone that visits you, therefore, gets basic coverage. If they lose their property or get injured, your home insurance can help compensate them to avoid lawsuits.

Should You Make A Claim?

It may not be in your best interest to make a claim for the lost laptop. It will affect your insurance record and is not worth it. You will be forced to make a deductible on the claim and the claim will be added to your report. Filling your report with unnecessary claims makes you appear as someone that is high-risk to the insurer. This may make your premium rates go higher. The deductible claim you pay could be almost as much as the cost of your friend’s laptop. File a claim for it only if your friend’s laptop is too expensive for you to replace. Consider the difference between your deductible and the cost of the laptop. If it is a lot, then it is okay to file a claim. If not, we advise that you protect your insurance record so it can be of use when you really need it.
