The Commercial Package
Policy allows you to extend coverage to property
not regularly covered under the policy. You
are saying to the insurance company, I want
these specific situations covered in the event
of a loss. Each coverage extension has its own
details of coverage. The nuances of the extensions
come into play when a loss occurs and there's
no specific insurance written on the property.
The six coverage extensions
are:
1. Newly acquired or
constructed property. This includes both buildings
and business personal property subject to maximum
dollar limits each. This extension protects
your business if new property is added during
the policy period.
Tip. Always report changes
to your business or property.
When your business personal
or real property changes, always report it to
your agent. If it's a change to either property
or the business organizational structure, report
it. This includes a new partner, the
change to a corporation, or a new line of operation.
Note.
Don't assume a change is covered by your insurance.
That's dangerous.
2. Personal effects
of people involved in your business
3. Research to restore valuable papers and records
4. Property off-premises temporally for storage
or for shows.
5. Outdoor property such as fences, signs, and
plants
6. Non-owned detached trailers
Note. These six categories
of coverage extensions are a great deal more
complex than we go into here. Check with your
insurance agent for complete details.
