Actual Cash Value (ACV)
Salon insurance glossary
Definition: Actual cash value pays the replacement cost of damaged property minus depreciation.
Why it matters for salons and spas
ACV policies can cost less but leave a gap when older equipment must be replaced at today’s prices.
Example
An ACV policy pays only the depreciated value of an older dryer.
