Does Commercial Insurance Cover Office Equipment?

One of the biggest decisions you will make when starting your business is selecting the right commercial insurance to cover your office equipment. Business insurance adds a layer of protection in the event of a covered loss. Some of the covered losses that your insurance protects you from include fire and theft. Your insurance policy will cover most items owned by the business, including office equipment.

How To Get The Right Coverage

When you start to look for business insurance, there are a few things to keep in mind. Find a commercial insurance agent you trust in your area. They’ll help you select the type of coverage your business needs, and avoid coverage you don’t. A good agent can help match you with an insurance company that understands your business. Make sure your policy includes all business assets. One way is to look at your balance sheet and make sure that you have enough coverage for inventory and equipment. This helps prevent gaps in your coverage that could lead to losses.

Documenting Office Equipment

It is important to include your office equipment in your coverage. One way to ensure that you adequately protect valuable office equipment is to save receipts or check your balance sheet. Photocopy all of your documents that figure into your insurance policy and keep them stored in a separate location or in the cloud. One highly respected insurance company that can help you step by step through the coverage process is Noyes Hall & Allen Insurance in Portland, ME.

Is It Safe to Enter My Insurance Quote Information Online?

Yes, our secure site protects your personal information.

 

Will an Insurance Agent Call Me?

If you request an online quote from one of “the big guys”, they will call or email you repeatedly, pressuring you to buy. We hate that as much as you do. We will only call you if you ask us to.

We will send one follow up email, in case you have any questions about your quotes. If you’d like to see quotes from other insurers that can’t yet provide “real time” quotes, you can let us know. If one of the quotes interests you, tell us and we’ll reach out with more information. No pressure or obligation.

Of course, not everyone’s insurance needs are straight and narrow. You may want the confidential advice of an experienced agent sometime. That’s where we shine. Our knowledge of the local area, our clients and the insurance market is why many of our clients choose to do business with us. Their insurance agent reviews tell the story.
