Insurance by coverage

Commercial property insurance for cannabis businesses

Best for Agents and brokers preparing this type of account

Commercial property insurance can address buildings, tenant improvements, equipment, stock, and business income exposures, subject to the policy and account-specific underwriting. The submission should show what is at each location and how the operation protects it.

Coverage and availability depend on the account, state, insurer and underwriting review. General information and nonbinding indications do not bind insurance; the applicable binder, policy, endorsements and law govern coverage.

Important insurance information

This guide is general information and does not determine coverage or legal requirements for your business. Policy terms, exclusions, conditions and available options vary. Contact the appropriate licensed insurance representative about your account, request confirmation of any coverage placed, and review the applicable insurance documents. An application, inquiry or nonbinding indication does not by itself bind or change insurance.

Map property values to each location

Separate building, tenant improvement, equipment, furniture, stock, and business income values by premises. Identify who owns each item and whether a lease or contract assigns responsibility for insuring it.

Explain how the operation stays running

Describe fire protection, security, utilities, environmental controls, maintenance, backup systems, and any supplier or dependent-location exposure that could affect recovery after a covered loss.

Property questions to resolve before submission

  • Are building, equipment, stock, and business income values separated by location?
  • Which utilities or environmental systems are necessary to protect stock and continue operations?
  • Do the lease and property schedules agree on who insures improvements and equipment?
