UNDERINSURANCE RISKS IN OFFICE BUILDINGS
Protect Your Property from Underinsurance
Underinsurance occurs when the sum insured for a property is less than its actual value. In office buildings, this can lead to significant financial loss if a claim arises, as insurers may reduce payouts proportionally.
Insure24 helps office building owners, landlords, and investors understand underinsurance risks and provides insurance solutions to ensure adequate coverage.
