Create a practical property inventory
List buildings, tenant improvements, equipment, tools, inventory, and property kept off-site or in vehicles. Note ownership, values, location, and how each item is used. Ask how the policy values property and what documentation may be required.
Review limits, deductibles, and covered causes of loss
Compare property limits, valuation terms, deductibles, exclusions, and any special conditions. A limit is not a promise to pay that amount; settlement depends on covered damage, policy provisions, and the facts of a claim.
Consider the effect of downtime
Ask whether business income or extra expense options may be available and what waiting periods, limits, and conditions apply. Coverage availability and terms depend on the carrier, business, and issued policy.
