Orange County Property/Inland Marine Coverage

Insurance Coverage To Protect Your Business

If your Orange County, CA business were to suffer a significant loss due to a fire, a theft, vandalism, or some other event that would also qualify as a disaster, does your business currently have the proper insurance coverage to protect your business from these potential losses? If your company has planned ahead and purchased an Orange County, CA Property Insurance Policy, then the business could have protection for your company’s furniture, equipment, and any betterments and improvements that your company has made to its leased or owned business location. Also, additional coverages provided by these types of policies can include accounts receivable and computer equipment and data or media coverage for your computers.

Best Investment For The Future Of Your Company

Some policies may also include coverage for loss of income due to business interruption resulting in your business being suspended and unable to operate due to a covered loss, which may also cover the operating and payroll expenses necessary to keep your company in business after a covered loss. This is why having an Orange County Property Insurance Policy, along with your California commercial general liability coverage may be the best investment you can make for the future of your company should a disaster happen.

Disasters such as a fire could destroy your contents and your building, a water pipe could break and ruin your carpets, inventory, computers, and your important papers. If you don’t have the proper coverage, could your company survive this type of disaster? One way to help your company survive a disaster is by having an Orange County, CA Property Insurance Policy which can also include businesses operating as a ranch and/or farm. Having the correct property coverage can pay to replace or repair buildings and any property that was damaged or destroyed due to a fire, wind storm, or some other disastrous peril that is covered by the property insurance policy. This coverage may also cover the cost to replace stolen or lost property.

Company owners, whether they rent, lease, or own a building can purchase Orange County, CA Property Insurance Coverage. If your business leases or rents a commercial building, it is vital that you acquire tenant insurance coverage that will insure your company’s on-premises property, including such items as inventory, machinery, office equipment, and furniture. More than likely, a building owner’s insurance policy will not provide coverage for the contents of the tenants in the building. You can obtain a single insurance policy to cover a business that has more than one location, unless those entities have different functions and different risk profiles.

Various Types Of Insurance Coverage

Orange County, CA Property/Inland Marine Liability Insurance can cover your business if you own a commercial building or if your business rents a building which may include the following coverages:
