Property Insurance
The Sovereign advantage
The property you need to protect extends beyond your four walls. In addition to your buildings, property includes your signage, equipment, materials and stock – all the physical assets that are essential to running your business smoothly. What's more, property that’s off site, in transit or the property of others in your care needs coverage too. Your protection needs can be extensive, so your coverage needs to be broad. That’s where our experienced, creative and knowledgeable team can help. No matter what industry you’re in, we work closely with your broker to provide complete package solutions to reduce potential gaps in coverage – providing an ‘all-in-one’ solution to help meet your business’ unique needs.
Customer centric
We focus on what our clients need, not what we have to sell. We strive to understand your business, deliver the right protection and empower you to make your operations better. We believe your experience matters and pride ourselves on exemplary service.
Cost effective
We help tailor coverage and terms to meet the needs of your business – giving you more of what you need and less of what you don’t. This ensures that not only is your policy cost effective, but that you’re getting great value.
Complete solutions
The financial well-being of your business requires that your assets and your income be protected. There’s more to your business than your Property exposures and that’s why we take a holistic approach to assessing your coverage needs. We provide a complete package solution which reduces the potential for gaps in coverage.
Coverages designed to protect your business
Risks to your property are as unique as your business. That’s why we believe in developing coverage* to address the specific exposures faced by operations like yours. We start with a broad base of coverages and build on this strong foundation with additional coverages designed for your industry or operation. We also offer a wide-ranging list of extensions and enhancements that can be customized to provide an insurance solution that fits your business needs.

Equipment Breakdown

This coverage helps protect and manage your business in the event of an unexpected breakdown.
Business Income Coverage Form (Gross Earnings, Profits, Extra Expenses)

An interruption in your business can negatively impact your income or your profits while adding extra expenses necessary to keep your business going. We can cover your loss of income until you’re able to re-open your business or for the time it takes for your profits to recover. In addition, Business Interruption coverages provide funds for reasonable and necessary expenses so you can get back to business as usual.
Contingent Business Income

Property Legal Liability Coverage
Coverage Snapshot
In your business, you’re required to take reasonable care of the property of others in your care, custody or control. Whether you’re hired to lift or move your customer’s equipment, you’re tasked with fixing or servicing your customer’s property, or you operate a warehouse, there's always a chance something can get misplaced or damaged. Property Legal Liability coverage protects you in the event you’re found to be legally responsible for loss or damage to your customers’ merchandise while it’s in your care and custody.
Transportation and Cargo Legal Liability Coverage
Coverage Snapshot
Whether your shipment is your own property or you’re a business that hauls cargo for others, you want to get the goods from A-to-B on time and undamaged. With all the variables in play, that's not always possible; there's always a risk your product could accidently get crushed, dropped or damaged. Whether by rail, in the air or on the big open highway, Transportation coverage can protect incoming and out-going shipments of your goods against loss or damage until they reach their destination. Cargo coverage can protect against loss or damage to your goods, or to your customers’ goods, while being transported by truck, including while being loaded or unloaded.

Whether in your yard, on a work site or in transit, the Mobile and Miscellaneous Property Coverage provides coverage for tools and larger pieces of equipment – whether you own them or you’re leasing them – against many exposures, including theft, fire, and upset at job sites or in transit.
