Shield Your Lowcountry Business: Coastal Commercial Property Insurance for Charleston & Mount Pleasant

Coastal Insurance Brokers offers tailored commercial property insurance for coastal South Carolina businesses including replacement cost or actual cash value for buildings, business personal property coverage for equipment/inventory, loss of income/business interruption, equipment breakdown, crime coverage, and options that address wind, hurricane, and storm-related perils common in Mount Pleasant, Charleston and the Lowcountry.

Coastal Insurance Brokers evaluates your property’s flood zone and exposure, advises whether you need private flood or NFIP coverage, and helps secure the appropriate flood policy to protect your Mount Pleasant or Charleston business.

Wind deductibles are typically a percentage of the insured value and vary by carrier and location; after a hurricane they can significantly affect out-of-pocket costs.

Coastal Insurance Brokers uses local market knowledge of the Lowcountry to recommend accurate limits and endorsements so you’re not underinsured when a loss occurs.
