Coverage Coordination

Multi-Layer Coverage Coordination.

Commercial flood coverage involves NFIP commercial (up to $500K building, $500K contents), private commercial flood (broader limits, sometimes $5M+), excess flood policies layered above NFIP, and CBI (Contingent Business Interruption) for supply-chain or access-dependent losses. We document for every coverage layer simultaneously.

BI documentation for commercial flood is critical. Time-stamped restoration milestones, tenant impact records, revenue-affecting timeline data — this is what BI carriers need to validate claims. Our commercial scope captures this from intake.
