Shelter's business owners insurance provides a range of coverage options.

Types of Coverage

Building

Building coverage applies to your building and all attached additions and extensions. It also covers

  • Fixtures, machinery, and equipment permanently attached to your building and used to service it.
  • On-site construction material you plan to use in repairing or altering the buildings.
  • Working outdoor antennas or reception dishes.
  • Floor coverings.

 Other Structures

Other structures coverage applies to structures designed to service your building that are permanently attached to the premises, but not to your building. Examples include

  • Yard fixtures.

Liability coverage will help you pay for bodily injury and property damage that you are legally liable to pay. For example, if your child breaks the neighbor's window playing baseball, or if a visitor slips and falls on your icy sidewalk, your personal liability coverage can help protect you.
