Key Differences in Commercial Property Insurance

Bundled Coverage vs. a Narrowly Scoped Line

For data centers, Marsh's technology practice says property is typically paired with equipment breakdown, business interruption, cyber and general liability to close gaps a conventional property policy alone would leave open. 6 Risklytics instead scopes commercial property narrowly: it pays to repair a leased space and replace its contents, and explicitly does not follow equipment once it leaves the premises, which falls under a separate inland marine line.

Risklytics describes Commercial Property as paying to repair a leased office or lab and replace its contents after damage or theft on premises, such as a burst pipe soaking test rigs or a break-in emptying a workshop, and says it does not follow equipment once it leaves the premises (that is Equipment/Inland Marine). 10Company-reported. Lines page; the issued policy and declarations control actual coverage.

How Straightforward Each Broker Says the Line Is

Risklytics calls commercial property the most standardized, easy-to-get policy it places, distinct from harder-to-place lines. 10 Marsh's technology practice instead frames property as one piece of a larger bundle assembled specifically to address data-center risk, not a standalone easy purchase. 6

Buying the Coverage

Risklytics says you start through its online application, that there is no added broker fee, and that a licensed producer stays on the file while commission is paid by the carrier out of the premium. 11 Marsh's property page instead names a specific advisor, its National Accounts Property Practice Leader, describing an advisor-led process rather than a self-serve application. 5

What to Confirm in Commercial Property Insurance Quotes

  • Ask Marsh whether the data-center coverage bundle applies to your facility or only to dedicated data-center operations. 6
  • Ask Risklytics what "typical ask" limit its underwriters would want for your space's contents, since no dollar figure is published. 10
  • Get the issuing insurer from both; Risklytics names carriers willing to write robotics, autonomy and AI risk in general terms but not by name, and Marsh's page names none. 7 5
  • Confirm whether equipment that leaves your premises needs a separate line from either provider, since Risklytics excludes it from commercial property specifically. 10
