# Does Commercial Property Cover Inventory?

Usually—commercial property may cover inventory as business personal property at insured locations, subject to its covered-cause, valuation, and limit terms.

Usually. Commercial property may cover inventory as business personal property at insured locations, subject to its covered-cause, valuation, and limit terms. Seasonal stock or spoilage may need added coverage. Stock may be valued at cost, selling price, or another defined basis, and seasonal inventory can exceed a standard limit. Spoilage from temperature changes or a power interruption may require special coverage even when physical damage to stock is insured for other causes.

Compare the inventory limit with peak and average stock values, and check whether goods at temporary sites, in storage, or in transit are included. Review the valuation clause, seasonal increase or peak-season endorsement, spoilage coverage, deductible, and coinsurance provision. Keep current inventory records and ask how business interruption applies to lost sales after a covered stock loss.
