Boiler and Machinery
This coverage can protect you if your business’s boiler cracks, a motor fail after bearings seize, a cooler of food spoils because of an electrical malfunction, or a computer shorts out causing lost production. Speak to your insurance Broker about including optional boiler coverage in your insurance policy. Choose from Basic, Broad, or Comprehensive coverage.
Comprehensive Coverage
Under this option, it is possible to insure nearly everything mechanical and electrical in small to mid-sized businesses, whether tenanted or owner-occupied. This coverage protects the kind of electronic equipment that businesses depend upon most, such as telephone systems, computers, photocopiers, and more. Coverage is also included on equipment used to provide human comfort or services in a building, such as boilers, hot water tanks, and air conditioning equipment.
To top it off, our Comprehensive package also includes spoilage coverage. Loss of the insured’s perishable goods that spoil as a result of a breakdown is covered by the policy limit, subject to the terms, conditions, and exclusions of the policy.
Business Interruption
Essential coverage for loss of income and employee wages in the event that an incident suspends your normal business activities. With business interruption coverage, you’ll have peace of mind that your business will be able to withstand an insured loss, such as fire or extensive water damage. Speak to your Echelon insurance Broker to determine what coverage is right for your business.
Data Compromise Coverage
At Echelon, we understand that the digital climate is changing and a threat to your business can happen in an instant or at the click of a mouse. Data breaches can happen to any company, and not properly addressing them can result in the loss of customers, revenues and trust in your company. To help protect your businesses and reputation, Echelon is pleased to offer Data Compromise coverage to eligible commercial property owners. This coverage can help cover the cost of expenses that your business could be responsible for in the event of a privacy breach. For more information on this coverage, contact your Broker today.
Legal Coverage
Commercial businesses face potential legal challenges that can jeopardize their hard work and be costly in terms of their time, mental health, and budget. That’s why we’ve introduced Legal Expense Insurance to select Commercial Property policyholders.
Legal Expense Insurance helps protect your customers from the unexpected costs of defending or pursuing their legal rights for employment or contract disputes, tax audits, and more. Based on policy limits eligible policyholders can be even more confident knowing their legal matters are well managed in the event of a covered legal dispute. As an added benefit, Commercial Property policyholders now have access to Legal Assistance services including a 24/7 legal helpline staffed by lawyers, legal document review, and other services to help manage their legal exposures.
