Equipment Breakdown Coverage
Vital machinery from cash registers to security sensors can be damaged by power surges or mechanical breakdown, which are often not included in, but can be added to, Commericial Property Insurance coverage.
Extra Expense Coverage
After properties have experienced a physical loss, like a natural disaster, Commercial Property Insurance may cover the costs to repair the location, but will not cover the costs of moving to a temporary location to keep business running without Extra Expense Coverage.

Business owner’s policy (BOP)
A popular option for small businesses like clothing boutiques that combines Commercial General Liability insurance with Commercial Property insurance, usually at a cheaper price than if the two were purchased separately.
