Business

Business insurance covers much more than just your buildings, equipment and merchandise.

Actually, you also need to protect your income, your administrative and professional decisions and,
especially, your civil liability.

  • Your business assets are an integral part of your business.

    Protecting them adequately, at their fair value, means you’ll avoid frustration, delays and major economic setbacks.

    We can advise you.

    The coinsurance clause:

    Commercial insurance contracts include a coinsurance clause that requires the insurance amount that is selected to be as close to the replacement value of your building or property as possible.

    For example, your insurance policy may indicate “80% coinsurance.” This means the insurer requires that the selected coverage amount be at least 80% of the full replacement value of your property. This leaves you with a margin of error of 20%.

    What happens if you don’t respect the barometer imposed by the insurer?

    Should you need to make a claim and the percentage indicated in the coinsurance clause is not respected, you will be at a disadvantage, unfortunately. Before compensating your loss, the insurer will calculate the value of your new property versus the insured value, and you will receive compensation on a pro rata basis.

    Let’s be clear: An insurer will never pay more than the amount indicated on your contract. So, in the case of a total loss, if you decided to insure your building for half of its reconstruction value, you will only get half its value—at best.

    In other words, to save a few hundred dollars, you may lose thousands.
