Are all contents covered by Commercial Property insurance?

Simply put — no, not all business contents may be covered under commercial property insurance, and the coverage can vary depending on the policy and insured property type.

Types of contents covered by Commercial Property insurance

In commercial property insurance, contents typically refer to the business property and equipment that is necessary to run the business.

Here are some examples of what might be covered under each type of content:

• Furniture and equipment, such as desks and computers.
• Inventory, like goods for sale or packaging materials.
• Machinery, for example, in manufacturing, could include conveyor belts.
• Building improvements can include permanent improvements or additions made to the building, such as flooring.
