commercial property insurance

Commercial property insurance protects a commercial building and its contents—such as inventory, computers, telephone systems, documents, furniture, HVAC systems, machinery, and equipment—as well as exterior features such as signs, fences, gates, lighting, and landscaping—from damage caused by fire, burst pipes, storms, theft, and vandalism.

Damage caused by earthquakes and floods is generally not covered by a commercial property insurance policy unless coverage for those natural disasters is added to the policy.

In South Dakota, commercial property insurance is designed to safeguard businesses against the loss or damage of physical assets such as buildings, equipment, inventory, furniture, and other property essential to business operations. Standard policies typically cover a range of perils including fire, theft, vandalism, storms, and water damage from burst pipes. However, it is important to note that coverage for natural disasters such as earthquakes and floods is not automatically included in most commercial property insurance policies. Business owners in South Dakota must often purchase additional coverage or separate policies to protect against these specific risks. It is crucial for business owners to carefully review their policies and consider the geographical and environmental risks specific to their locations to ensure adequate protection for their commercial properties.
