The 2026 rates reflect the increase in the cost of materials and parts.\"}},{\"@type\":\"Question\",\"name\":\"What protections are essential for a grocery store?\",\"acceptedAnswer\":{\"@type\":\"Answer\",\"text\":\"Minimum: Commercial liability (2-5M$), building\/content (replacement value), equipment, business interruption. Endorsements specific to your industry (Building & content, Theft of cash & inventory) are often crucial.\"}},{\"@type\":\"Question\",\"name\":\"Is the CNESST included?\",\"acceptedAnswer\":{\"@type\":\"Answer\",\"text\":\"No. The CNESST is a mandatory contribution managed separately by the employer. Commercial insurance complements the CNESST for civil liability claims outside of work (clients, third parties).\"}},{\"@type\":\"Question\",\"name\":\"Do I need to report all my income exactly?\",\"acceptedAnswer\":{\"@type\":\"Answer\",\"text\":\"Yes. Underreporting can lead to a proportional penalty (proportional rule) in the event of a claim: if you reported $400k but actually make $800k, you receive 50% of the compensation due.\"}},{\"@type\":\"Question\",\"name\":\"Are my subcontractors covered by my policy?\",\"acceptedAnswer\":{\"@type\":\"Answer\",\"text\":\"No. Each subcontractor must have their own liability insurance. Always request a certificate of insurance and add yourself as an additional insured on their policy. Otherwise, you remain responsible for the damages they cause.\"}},{\"@type\":\"Question\",\"name\":\"What is replacement value vs. depreciated value?\",\"acceptedAnswer\":{\"@type\":\"Answer\",\"text\":\"Replacement value: you are reimbursed for the current price of an equivalent new piece of equipment. Depreciated value: reduced amount due to wear and tear (e.g., 10-year-old fridge = 30% of its new value). Replacement value is recommended \u2014 additional cost of 10-15%.\"}},{\"@type\":\"Question\",\"name\":\"Can I insure my commercial vehicles with the same policy?\",\"acceptedAnswer\":{\"@type\":\"Answer\",\"text\":\"Often yes, but sometimes it\u2019s more advantageous to separate: distinct commercial fleet policy. We compare both scenarios to choose the most economical.\"}},{\"@type\":\"Question\",\"name\":\"How long does it take to be compensated after a claim?\",\"acceptedAnswer\":{\"@type\":\"Answer\",\"text\":\"With up-to-date inventory + photos + financial documents: settlement in 4-8 weeks.
