Commercial Factory Insurance

Commercial factory landlord insurance is made to protect the building and the interests of the property owner. Factory and industrial buildings are exposed to higher-risk environments, with incidents such as fire, storm damage, or structural impact all possible. This can lead to unexpected repair costs and loss of rental income.

Our commercial factory insurance cover applies to manufacturing facilities, processing plants, industrial buildings and factory units leased to tenants. Factory insurance is a structured way to protect your asset, maintaining stability and reducing the impact should the unexpected happen.

Key Advantages of Factory Insurance

Damage to a factory building interrupts tenancy and creates unexpected costs for the property owner. Commercial factory landlord insurance safeguards your building and asset, meaning any insured events have a reduced financial impact.

  • Protects the factory building structure against insured damage such as fire, storm, or vandalism
  • Provides landlord liability cover if injury or third-party damage occurs on the property
  • Supports rental income if the building becomes unusable after an insured event
  • Covers structural elements such as roofing, walls, and fixed building systems
  • Helps maintain the long-term value of the property 


How the Application Process Works

Arranging commercial factory landlord insurance involves assessing the property, understanding tenancy risks and selecting cover that reflects how the building is used.

Step 1

Begin with an initial consultation to assess the factory building and landlord requirements.

Step 2

Review property details such as building value, construction type, and tenant use.

Step 3

Select suitable coverage levels and optional extensions such as loss of rent or liability.

Step 4

Provide documentation outlining the property and risk profile.

Step 5

Receive quotes and select a policy that matches your property needs.

Step 6

Finalise the policy and arrange payment so cover is active.

I have used CGIB as my insurer for over 10 years and they have always been very professional and reliable.
CGIB have facilitated insurance for our Owners Corp requirements for the last few years. Sarah has been professional, diligent, helpful and I highly recommend their services.
Wouldn't go anywhere else! We have been in the building industry for over forty years and have used other companies to handle our insurances and it was a nightmare. CGIB has been responsive, efficient and pleasure to do business with. They have handled our claims in a speedy manner and stayed on top of things, sending ME friendly reminders to help me stay on top of things. We have been with them for what could be over 15 years and highly recommend them.

What Does Commercial Factory Insurance Cover?

Commercial factory landlord insurance supports property owners when insured events affect the building, its structure, or the income it generates. It typically includes:

  • Fire and smoke damage: Protection for the factory building if damaged by fire or related incidents.
  • Storm and water damage: Cover for structural damage caused by severe weather or sudden water-related events.
  • Malicious damage and vandalism: Protection against intentional damage to the building.
  • Glass breakage: Cover for external windows and fixed glass within industrial buildings.
  • Landlord liability: Protection if a visitor, contractor, or third party is injured on the property.
  • Loss of rental income: Support if the factory becomes uninhabitable due to an insured event and rent cannot be collected.
  • Accidental damage to the building: Optional cover for unexpected damage to structural elements.

What Typically Isn’t Covered

Policies under commercial factory insurance exclude incidents outside the insured events listed in the terms. They will also not cover tenant-owned machinery, equipment, or inventory, as well as manufacturing equipment breakdown, as this relates to tenant operations.

Coverage will not apply to general wear and tear, poor maintenance and pre-existing structural issues. Intentional damage and events not listed as insured in the policy are also excluded, along with certain natural disasters unless specifically included.

What Influences Your Policy Cost

The cost of commercial factory landlord insurance depends on the risk profile of the building and tenancy. Premiums for factory insurance are influenced by:

  • Factory building size and replacement value
  • Construction materials and building age
  • Location and exposure to risks such as fire, flood, or storm
  • Type of tenant occupying the property
  • Risk exposure linked to tenant activities
  • Claims history
  • Coverage limits and optional extensions selected

A CLOI broker keeps you informed about how these factors apply to your property, guiding you through suitable options.

Yes, loss of rental income may be included or added as an option if the property becomes uninhabitable due to an insured event.

An annual review is recommended, or sooner if tenancy, building structure, or property value changes.
