How Does Office Insurance Protect Your Business?
As a business, your office is important to the daily operations of your company. A dedicated office space allows employees to work, provides an area for your products and services, and makes your business appear more professional to your customers.
When you own a business, no matter how big or small your company is, damages and losses to your office space can be devastating and very costly. Not only do you lose income during the repair and replacement process, but it also costs a lot of money to deal with all the damages and lawsuits incurred.
That’s why commercial insurance for the office is extremely important for business owners. It covers the losses and claims arising from lawsuits, property damages, and theft.

What Does Office Insurance Cover?
There are three main office insurance coverages commonly are included in most office insurance policies:
- Commercial general liability coverage – includes personal injury, such as false arrest and wrongful entry, medical payments, tenant’s legal liability, employer’s liability coverage, and non-owned auto coverage.
- Office contents insurance coverage – includes coverage for equipment, tools, and tenant improvements. You can have this type of coverage on an all risks basis for direct physical losses or damages. You can also add insurance coverage for floods and earthquakes generally at an additional cost.

- Third-party liability – includes protection against legal actions when a visitor is injured on your premises.
- Crime coverage – includes expenses from employee dishonesty, depositors forgery, robberies, and other illegal actions.
What You Should Know About Office Insurance
If you operate out of a home office, your home insurance policy likely won’t provide insurance coverage for that space.
If you lease your office space, having professional office insurance is mandatory to protect your office contents and against liability and crimes. This is because commercial landlords don’t want any legal responsibilities for any losses or damages that may arise during your tenancy.
The Canadian government may also require you to have office insurance depending on the type of business you operate. Otherwise, office insurance isn’t always required. With that said, you should always have adequate protection against unforeseeable events.
The cost of office insurance varies greatly depending on the coverage you choose. Factors such as office location, industry, and claims history can also determine the cost of your insurance premiums.
