Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about insurance for aviation businesses

Commercial Property insurance protects your business's physical assets including buildings you own, equipment, inventory, furniture, and fixtures. It covers losses from fire, theft, vandalism, storms, and other covered perils. This coverage is essential whether you own your building or lease space, as it protects the contents and improvements you've made.
General Liability covers physical injuries and property damage caused by your business. Professional Liability (also called Errors & Omissions) covers financial losses caused by your professional advice, services, or mistakes. For example, if an accountant makes an error that costs a client money, Professional Liability would cover the claim. Many service-based businesses need both types of coverage.
Independent agents like The P & C Agency represent multiple insurance carriers, allowing us to shop your coverage and find the best combination of price, coverage, and service. We advocate for you—not the insurance company. We handle claims assistance, policy reviews, and certificate requests. Direct carriers only offer their own products and may not have the best fit for your specific needs.
