Tool & Equipment Coverage
Tool & Equipment Coverage
Your hardware store relies on thousands of dollars worth of tools, equipment and specialized machinery. Everything from power drills and saws to forklifts, mixers, and rental tools: your company relies on these assets every day. If an unforeseen incident occurs, such as a crash, theft or mechanical problems – covering the cost of replacing everything can hit you financially hard.
Tool and Equipment Coverage covers your hardware store’s most valuable tools (on-site, in storage, or out with a customer in rental). This coverage ensures that your business can continue to run, without expensive interruptions.
Business Owner’s Policy (BOP)
Business Owner’s Policy is an affordable insurance package that combines General Liability Insurance, Commercial Property Insurance and Business Interruption Coverage.
BOP insures your building and its contents, inventory, tools and shelving, even lost income while you’re on temporary shutdowns. Whether it be your drills, saws, rental tools or warehouse equipment that you move from job site to job site, adding Tool & Equipment Coverage to your BOP gives you full coverage for these movable assets too!
