What is commercial property insurance?
Commercial property insurance is a kind of insurance that protects your commercial building and your business assets in the case of damage or loss. It covers the replacement cost of the building, equipment, and inventory.

How can business proper insurance help your business?
Here are some situations where a commercial property insurance policy can protect your business:
