Property Insurance Coverage in Louisiana – What should you cover?

Every business has some type of tangible assets that are necessary for you to complete your day-to-day work (in addition to your property of course).

  • Appraisal value of property.
  • Estimated cost of replacement.
  • Type of building, number of stories, square ft.
  • Original purchase price.
  • Age and building condition.
