COMMERCIAL FLOOD INSURANCE
Defining Commercial Flood Insurance

What Does Commercial Flood Insurance Cover?
Commercial Flood Insurance helps protect your business from the damage costs that come from floodwater. It may be a good idea to buy purchase coverage for Building (the structure) and its Contents. And each has a deductible. Building coverage only covers the structure, so you should consider getting coverage for the items inside the property too (Contents coverage).
