What matters on this policy

Commercial property coverage protects the building, the contents, and the income the property generates. The details determine whether a claim rebuilds the asset or merely contributes toward it.

Replacement cost versus actual cash value

The same distinction that governs homeowners policies applies here, with larger numbers attached. Replacement cost rebuilds. Actual cash value pays depreciated value. On an older commercial building the gap can be very large.

Coinsurance — the clause that catches people

Most commercial property policies include a coinsurance requirement, typically 80 or 90 percent of the building's replacement value. If the building is insured below that threshold, the carrier reduces every claim proportionally, including partial losses. Underinsuring to save premium quietly reduces the payout on the small claims you are far more likely to have.

Also worth carrying

  • Ordinance or law — older commercial buildings rarely meet current code, and rebuilding to code is not covered by default
  • Business income and extra expense — the lost rents or lost operating income during a rebuild
  • Equipment breakdown — HVAC, elevators and electrical systems, excluded from standard property forms
  • Flood and earthquake — separate policies, always
