Does Renters Insurance Cover Business Property?

If you’re renting a building for your company, you need the right small business renters insurance. Having it will help protect not only the property, but also your team and operations.
 
Many small business owners include business renters insurance in their Business Owner’s Policy (BOP). This combines these three small business insurance coverages into one policy:
 
  • General liability insurance
  • Commercial property insurance
  • Business income insurance

Business Owner’s Policy for Businesses at a Rental Property

By combining the coverages your business needs, a Business Owner’s Policy (BOP) can help you get coverage for:
 
  • Fire
  • Theft
  • Lawsuits
  • Loss of income
BOPs are more affordable and convenient to manage because they bundle your coverages together. You can also tailor it to fit your company’s specific needs by adding additional policies, like car insurance.
 

Commercial Property Insurance

Commercial property insurance helps protect your business and its physical assets. So, if a fire, theft or other covered loss causes property damage to your rented space, this policy can help pay for repairs or replacements.
 
Your commercial property insurance can help cover your:
 
  • Equipment
  • Tools
  • Inventory
  • Furniture
  • Personal property
Be aware that a property insurance policy doesn’t cover every kind of damage. For example, if your business gets damaged from flooding, your property coverage likely won’t help. Instead, you would need commercial flood insurance to help protect your business from flood damage.
 

Business Income Insurance

Business income insurance will help cover lost income if your business needs to shut down due to damage from a covered cause of loss, such as:
 
  • Fire
  • Theft
  • Wind
So, if your rented property gets damaged in a fire, this coverage can help replace your lost income while you’re shut down for repairs.
 
On top of liability coverage, you may also need other types of business insurance, like:
 
  • Professional liability insurance
  • Commercial auto insurance
  • Cyber liability coverage

General Liability Insurance

General liability insurance helps cover your business from claims of bodily injury or property damage. So, if a fire destroys part of your rented property, it’s considered covered damage and general liability can help pay for the repairs.
 

How Much Is Renters Insurance for a Business?

Small business insurance costs are different for every company, including how much you’ll pay for renters insurance. Some factors that impact your business renters insurance cost include your:
 
  • Location
  • Business size
  • Value of equipment
