Lower your rate
How to save money on your policy
- Add as an endorsement to your BOP rather than a standalone policy — it's almost always cheaper bundled
- Document all covered equipment with serial numbers and purchase prices before a claim
- Confirm coverage includes business income loss while equipment is being repaired — that's often the bigger exposure
Mistakes worth avoiding
- Assuming a commercial property policy already covers mechanical failure
- Not including business income loss during equipment downtime
- Skipping coverage for server or IT infrastructure
