Commercial Flood Insurance
Commercial Flood Insurance provides coverage for damages to your structures and their contents, stemming from flood-related incidents.
What is Commercial Flood Insurance?
Commercial Flood Insurance is a necessary protection for businesses operating in areas prone to flooding. This policy covers damage to your property and assets caused by flood, which is typically excluded from standard commercial property insurance.
Why You Need It
To Protect Business Assets
Businesses with physical premises and tangible assets in flood-prone areas require commercial flood insurance to protect against potential financial loss due to flood damage.
To Meet Lender Requirements
If your business premises is located in a high-risk flood zone and you have a mortgage from a federally regulated or insured lender, you will likely be required to have flood insurance.
To Ensure Business Continuity
Flood damage can be substantial, causing operational disruptions and financial strain. Commercial flood insurance helps to ensure that your business can recover and continue operations after a flood event.
