PONTE VEDRA BEACH, Fla. - July 15, 2026 - PRLog -- Property & Marine Insurance Commission (PMIC) has introduced its new Business Personal Property (BPP) Coverage Form, providing subscriber insurance carriers with a modern solution designed to protect business assets. The form covers a broad range of property, including equipment, inventory, furniture, electronics, accounts receivable, valuable papers, tenant improvements and betterments, data, software, and other essential business property against direct physical loss or damage from fortuitous perils on a primarily "all risk" basis, subject to stated exclusions.

The coverage form offers multiple valuation options, including stated value, "new-for-old" replacement, and functional replacement cost, along with tailored valuation provisions for specialized property such as electronic data, valuable papers, accounts receivable, money and securities, and property of others. Optional coverages include business income and operating expenses, dependent property losses, civil authority and ingress/egress loss of income, rental expense, sue and labor costs, and debris and contaminant cleanup.
