5 Cities Insurance

Commercial Flood Insurance for California Businesses

Commercial flood insurance covers damage to buildings and contents from flooding, which standard commercial property policies exclude. For businesses in or near flood zones, a separate flood policy — often through the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) or a private market — is considered.
