Wholesale coverage guide

Commercial Property.

Direct answer. Commercial property insurance commonly addresses direct physical loss to scheduled buildings, business personal property, and related time-element interests, subject to the policy form and causes of loss. Wholesale review may be appropriate when occupancy, construction, protection, catastrophe exposure, valuation, vacancy, losses, or requested limits do not fit an admitted market.

When specialty review may help.

  • Coastal wind, wildfire, earthquake, flood, or other catastrophe exposure
  • Older construction, vacancy, renovation, habitational, or mixed occupancy
  • Large total insured values, layered programs, or unusual valuation needs
  • Loss history, protection concerns, or business-income complexity
Authority boundary

This guide is educational. It does not confirm current appetite, carrier access, a quote, policy terms, or bind authority. Account-specific eligibility requires Hedge review.
