Can You Get Renters Insurance for a Business?
If you’re renting property for your company, you can get business renters insurance to help protect it. This type of small business insurance helps protect your property, team and operations.
Many small business owners can get this coverage with a Business Owner’s Policy (BOP). This combines three essential types of coverage that many small businesses need, such as:
- General liability insurance
- Commercial property insurance
- Business income insurance
BOP for Businesses at a Rental Property
Even for businesses at a rental property, a Business Owner’s Policy can provide protection. BOPs include commercial property insurance, which provides commercial renters insurance coverage. A BOP can help protect your business from:
- Fire
- Theft
- Lawsuits
- Loss of income due to covered property damage
Commercial Property Insurance
Commercial property insurance helps protect the owned or rented building, office space and equipment you use to run your business. This includes your business’:
- Tools
- Equipment
- Inventory
- Furniture
- Personal property
So, if a fire, theft or other covered loss causes property damage to your rented space, this policy can help pay for repairs or replacements.
Be aware that a property insurance policy doesn’t cover every kind of damage. For example, if your business gets flood damage, your property coverages likely won’t help. Instead, you’d need to get commercial flood insurance to help protect your business.
Business Income Insurance
Business income insurance helps replace lost income if your business can’t operate because of covered property damage. This includes damage from:
- Wind
- Fire
- Theft
So, if your rented building gets damaged in a fire and you can’t open while repairs get made, this coverage can help replace lost income.
General Liability Insurance
General liability insurance helps protect your business from claims that it caused bodily injury or property damage. These types of claims are common and can come up during normal business operations.
For example, if a customer slips and falls in your business and gets hurt, general liability insurance can help pay for their medical bills.
General liability insurance doesn’t cover every type of claim, though. You may also need other types of liability coverage, like:
