Commercial Earthquake Insurance

Updated

Does commercial property insurance cover earthquake damage for California businesses?

No. Standard commercial property policies exclude earthquake, and California sits on active faults, so businesses need separate coverage. Commercial earthquake insurance covers structural damage to your building and tenant improvements, business personal property such as equipment and inventory, and lost income while you repair and reopen. It is available as a standalone policy or an endorsement, and Insurance City explains how the deductible works before you buy. Tell us your building, location, and values, then call (209) 670-1556 or request a quote.

California businesses need the earthquake coverage their property policy excludes

Standard commercial property policies exclude earthquake — and California sits on active faults. If a quake damages your building or contents, you’re on your own without dedicated coverage. Insurance City places commercial earthquake coverage for Central Valley businesses so a major event doesn’t end the business.

What commercial earthquake covers

  • Building & tenant improvements — structural damage from a covered quake.
  • Business personal property — equipment, inventory, and contents.
  • Loss of income — while you repair and reopen.
  • Available as a standalone policy or an endorsement, with deductibles set to your risk.

Why local businesses work with us

We’re independent, so we shop earthquake markets across major carriers instead of one company’s appetite. We explain how the deductible really works (it’s a percentage of value, not a flat dollar amount) so there are no surprises at claim time. Bilingual (English / Español) and local.
