What do insurance providers factor in when taking out commercial property insurance?

• Location – If you have a property in the middle of a city with good fire protection, these typically cost less to insure because there is less risk of fire spreading as quickly as someone who has a commercial property in the middle of nowhere.

• Construction of the property – If you have a building made of highly flammable or combustible material then this will increase the cost of your insurance and may not get your building insured at all. If you have a Building made of fire resistible material this could get you savings on your insurance.

• Occupancy – What is the building being used for? Is it just an office or is it a restaurant. The higher the risk of fire or damage the more expensive again those premiums are going to be.

• Systems in place – Do you have sprinklers or fire alarms around the building. Have you got an up to date and working security system.
