How the coverage connects to the operation
Property-management companies coordinate owners, tenants, vendors, leases, maintenance, inspections, money, records, and sometimes employees across many locations. The insurance review should separate property the firm owns from property it manages and identify professional responsibilities, maintenance authority, tenant funds, vehicles, and contractual requirements.
For this coverage conversation, describe what the business does, where it works, who performs the work, what property or vehicles are involved, and which contracts or customers create insurance requirements. Those facts are more useful than relying on a business title alone.
Illinois context
Severe storms, tornadoes, hail, winter weather, urban density, manufacturing, and major freight corridors create varied business insurance considerations.
Geography and state oversight are part of the review, but they do not replace account-specific underwriting. Policy forms and availability can differ by insurer and state.
Questions to discuss
- How many units, buildings, associations, and owners are managed, and in which states?
- Which leasing, inspection, maintenance, accounting, or tenant-screening duties are performed?
- Does the company hold rent, deposits, keys, credentials, personal information, or association funds?
- Are maintenance employees, vehicles, contractors, security decisions, evictions, or owned properties involved?
Details to prepare
- Management agreement and service-responsibility summary
- Location, unit, property-type, owner, and state breakdown
- Revenue, payroll, employee, contractor, vehicle, and funds-handling details
- Data security, payment controls, sample contracts, current insurance, and loss history
