Key facts: commercial property insurance in Florida
- What it is: Commercial property insurance protects what you own inside the salon — tenant improvements, stations, shampoo units, pedicure chairs, dryers, devices and retail inventory — against fire, theft, water damage and other covered causes.
- Workers’ comp rule: Required with four or more employees (non-construction).
- Licensing board: The Florida Board of Cosmetology (barbers are licensed by the Florida Barbers’ Board), both under the Department of Business and Professional Regulation.
- Local risk factors: hurricanes, windstorm and flood, which drive property pricing and named-storm deductibles.
What it covers
- Tenant improvements and build-out you paid for
- Furniture, stations, chairs and equipment
- Retail inventory and supplies
- Signage and glass (often by endorsement)
- Business income when written as part of the policy
What it usually does not cover
- Flood, unless you buy a separate flood policy
- Earthquake, unless endorsed
- Mechanical breakdown, unless equipment breakdown is added
- Wear and tear or gradual leaks
Coverage always depends on the specific policy wording, exclusions and endorsements.
What makes Florida different
Property coverage in Florida should account for hurricanes, windstorm and flood, which drive property pricing and named-storm deductibles. Flood is excluded from standard commercial property forms, so Florida salons in flood zones usually need a separate flood policy.
Compare deductibles (including any separate wind, hail or named-storm deductible), whether equipment breakdown is included, and how long business income coverage waits before it starts.

What drives the price

We do not publish average premiums because they rarely match a real salon — comparing several carriers on the same coverage is the reliable way to find your number.
Frequently asked questions
Is commercial property insurance required for salons in Florida?
No Florida statute requires it for salons, but leases, lenders, salon suite operators and venues often do, and it protects the business from claims it would otherwise pay out of pocket.
