One of the most misunderstood aspects of commercial property insurance is how a loss will actually be settled. Many business owners assume damaged property will automatically be replaced with new equipment, but the answer depends on whether the policy provides Replacement Cost or Actual Cash Value coverage. At Prosperity North Advisors, we help business owners understand these differences before a claim occurs so there are no surprises when they need coverage the most.
