Commercial property insurance

Protect your business premises – and the contents you keep there – with commercial property cover arranged by Marsh.

Key product highlights

Building damage

Whether it’s due to fire, theft or a simple accident, we can arrange insurance to help cover damage to your business’s physical premises.

Contents and stock damage

When your business assets are damaged – like glass, stock or indoor fittings – this cover can help offer imbursement for repair and replacement.

Fire and insurable perils

When fire, storms and other catastrophic (but insurable) events strike, this cover can help your business survive them.

Accidental damage

Accidents can happen at any time – in many ways. This policy can help offer protection for sudden and/or unexpected property damage.

Theft

Theft may be calculated or petty. No matter the circumstance, it’s always a blow. This can help cover the loss of your contents and stock due to theft at your premises by forced entry.

Malicious damage

Sometimes damage is calculated and intentional. When windows are graffitied or walls are punched through, this policy can help.

Commercial property insurance can offer a financial cushion in the event of theft, fire and accidental or malicious damage. All relevant risks for any business owner.

Most policies cover a breadth of business types and sizes – across industries and sectors. Regardless of the nature of your business, there’s a good chance you’ll be able to obtain cover.

For advice specific to your situation, please speak to your Marsh advisor.

We recommend you consider it.

Why? Imagine an insurable event happens to your business. A fire, storm, theft or burglary. Would you still be able to pay rent, utilities, staff wages and operating costs?

If not, business interruption insurance can help cover you. It provides protection for loss of income and increased operational costs caused by an insured event.

Most likely. Your operating licence should state whether you need public and product liability insurance.

Your suppliers and any third parties you do business with may require you to provide evidence of this insurance as part of various processes.

Those processes might be lease agreements, tender processes for contracts, or even credit line negotiations.

The cost of your commercial property insurance depends on a few factors. These can include the:

  • Size of your business and/or turnover

  • Size of your workforce

  • Type of business activities you carry out 

  • Property you want to insure 

  • Location you operate from.

Your insurer will also consider your fire and security protections, plus any claims history if you’ve had insurance before.

You can also obtain quotes that have a higher excess amount. This can provide some premium savings.

Discuss all these factors in-depth with your Marsh advisor.
