Cover · Commercial property

Commercial property.

Buildings, contents, stock and the income that stops when something goes wrong — placed with carriers that actually want your asset class.

What it is

Commercial property covers physical loss to buildings, contents, stock and improvements — plus the business interruption income that disappears while you rebuild. It's the foundation policy for any business with a physical footprint.

When you need it

The triggers
we hear most.

You own, lease or occupy a commercial building.

Landlords require property cover on tenant improvements; lenders require it on owned buildings; and any business with stock, equipment or fit-out has assets worth protecting. Property is the foundation policy for any business with a physical footprint.

Your business stops if the building burns or floods.

Property cover pays to repair or replace the physical asset, but business interruption — written as part of property — pays the lost income while you can't operate. The two are placed together because a loss usually triggers both.

You hold inventory, equipment or finished goods of meaningful value.

Stock and contents are valued and underwritten separately from the building. The schedule of values needs to be accurate or you risk co-insurance penalties at claim time.

You're in a catastrophe-exposed area (coastal, wildfire, quake).

Standard property has stripped out FL, CA and coastal exposures in many markets. We go to the E&S property market for CAT-zone risks — where the cover lives now.

What it covers

Inside the
policy.

Building and improvements

Cover for the structure (if you own) or tenant improvements (if you lease) — replacement cost or actual cash value, with appropriate cause-of-loss form.

Business personal property

Contents, furniture, fixtures, equipment, electronics and stock — scheduled with values that reflect actual replacement cost.

Business interruption

Lost income, ongoing payroll and continuing expenses during the period of restoration after a covered loss — sized to your realistic recovery timeline.

Extra expense and dependent property

The cost of operating from a temporary location, plus contingent BI when a key supplier or customer is the one shut down.

What it doesn't

Where buyers
get caught out.

Flood and earthquake (usually)

Standard property excludes flood and earthquake by default. Both need separate placement — through NFIP, private flood markets or DIC forms.

Equipment breakdown

Mechanical and electrical failure of equipment is excluded under property — it sits with equipment breakdown (boiler & machinery) coverage, which we place alongside.

Property in your custody

Customer property or property you're working on usually needs inland marine or care, custody & control endorsements — not standard property.

Why Nomos

How we place
this line.

Asset-class fluency

Multifamily, manufacturing, retail, restaurant and office all underwrite differently. We submit with the asset-class detail carriers want to see — and shop the markets that actually want your asset class.

CAT-zone E&S access

Coastal, wildfire and earthquake-exposed property has largely left the admitted market. We work with the E&S property markets writing CAT-zone risk.

SOV accuracy

An out-of-date schedule of values triggers co-insurance penalties at claim time. We pressure-test your SOV every renewal so you're not underinsured by accident.
