See what each quote would pay after a loss

When proposals come back from the market, we line up replacement cost against actual cash value, coinsurance conditions and deductibles, so a lower premium doesn’t hide a smaller payout.

Find out what’s excluded before you buy

Spot checks whether each quote leaves out flood, earth movement or wear and tear, and asks how lost income is treated, since property and business interruption are separate coverages.

Replacement cost or actual cash value?

Update your property values before renewal

Your Spot team keeps your policy and schedules together, brings renewals forward and asks you to update values first, since underinsurance can reduce what a claim pays.

Is Commercial Property Insurance right for you?

  • Building owners

    Your building and the equipment installed in it need to be listed apart from everything that moves.

  • Tenants with equipment and inventory

    Furniture, computers, tools and stock are listed apart from the building, and property you hold for customers has to be identified too.

  • Multi-location businesses

    List every worksite in the submission, not only headquarters, so each proposal shows which locations it insures.

  • Businesses with equipment that travels

    Property that moves between sites may need inland marine or floater coverage, which is a separate conversation from your premises policy.

When to get Commercial Property Insurance

  • 01

    You bought or leased a building

    Read the lease to see whether you or the landlord insures the building, then set your building and contents limits to match.

  • 02

    You bought expensive equipment

    Update its value, and if it travels between sites, ask separately about inland marine or floater coverage.

  • 03

    You added a location

    Tell your Spot team before you move in, so the new worksite and what’s in it can be added to your schedule.

  • 04

    Your rebuilding costs went up

    Underinsurance can reduce what the policy pays. Check your values against any coinsurance condition before a loss tests them.

  • 05

    Your property renewal arrived with last year’s values

    Update the values first, then compare valuation terms and deductibles across the market.

Commercial Property Insurance questions

Also known as business property insurance, commercial building insurance and commercial real estate insurance.

Our broker has placed our property for years. Can we keep them?

Yes. Spot works with your existing broker on the schedule and the proposals, and takes no commissions on premiums. If you want a broker who places more property like yours, we can help you switch.

What does commercial property insurance cover?

Business property insurance can protect your buildings, equipment, furniture and inventory against physical damage from covered events. What it pays turns on the covered property, the covered causes of loss and the policy’s exclusions and endorsements.

Does property insurance replace lost income?

Not by itself. Property coverage addresses physical assets, while business interruption addresses lost income after a covered event, so ask for income coverage if you need it.

What is coinsurance?

It’s a condition in some property policies under which underinsurance can reduce what the policy pays. Spot asks whether your values meet it before you bind.

What do I need to get a property quote?

Your Spot team needs each worksite, how your business operates, your building, installed equipment and contents, any property you hold for others, your safety and maintenance practices, and your current policy if you have one.
