Our experienced Zuma agents understand that each business is unique and faces its own set of challenges. That’s why we work hard to tailor our business property insurance coverage to fit your needs.
How Does It Work?
This type of insurance coverage varies but it is typically classified by which items are insured and the type of accident or event that lead to a loss. Basic property insurance coverage usually protects against fire, theft, vandalism and damage to your property caused by a vehicle or airplane.
The key items that are usually outlined in this type of policy include your building, outdoor items that are located on the premises, office equipment and inventory. Additional coverage options are often referred to as endorsements and can typically be added to the policy to include other disasters like an earthquake.
This type of coverage also allows you to choose how you want your important items to be covered. The plan will pay for losses based on either the replacement cost of the item or actual cash value.
- Replacement Cost – The amount needed to repair, replace or rebuild damaged property on the same premises, using comparable materials, without deducting for depreciation.
- Actual Cash Value – The cost to replace an item with a new item of a similar style and quality, minus depreciation.
Before investing in a new business property insurance policy, it’s important to take inventory of your business to determine which items you want to insure.
