Cost Guide
What Does BPP Cost?
Real pricing for business personal property insurance — the factors that drive premium, sample ranges by business type, and how to keep it competitive.
What drives the cost
Business personal property premium is driven by how much property you're insuring, how it's valued, what you do, and how well-protected your premises are.
Total property value
The combined value of your contents, equipment, inventory, and improvements is the biggest driver — more property means more premium.
Valuation basis
Replacement Cost costs more than Actual Cash Value, but pays far more after a loss. We help you choose per asset class.
Industry & occupancy
A restaurant or manufacturer pays more than an office, because the equipment and inventory exposure is higher.
Building protection
Sprinklers, alarms, fire-rated construction, and security lower premium; an unprotected or older building raises it.
Sample ranges by business type
These are typical annual ranges for a BPP / commercial property program. Actual cost depends on your property value, valuation, industry, and location.

How to lower your BPP cost
- › Set accurate limits — don't over-insure, and don't under-insure (which can trigger coinsurance penalties).
- › Bundle BPP with general liability in a BOP where it's cheaper.
- › Improve protection — sprinklers, alarms, and security lower premium.
- › Raise your deductible to reduce premium, if your cash flow allows.
- › Schedule high-value equipment at agreed value to avoid disputes.
