Commercial Insurance in CA at New Horizon Insurance Services

Although most business owner policies (BOPs) do provide Commercial Property Insurance coverage, this most often pertains only to the actual structure of your business. Under a BOP, generally, the structure of your business is covered from events of “peril” (i.e. weather-related damage) and causes of loss (i.e. Robbery). What about the furniture, computers, and equipment in your building? Who will cover the cost of replacing an outdoor sign?
This is where Commercial Property Insurance comes in. A typical Commercial Property Insurance policy will cover the property of your business that a BOP will not. New Horizon Insurance Services can compile a Commercial Property Insurance line to include coverage for:
  • Contractors
