In today’s economy, inflation isn’t just raising prices — it’s quietly increasing your risk. As property values and construction costs rise, many business owners are discovering too late that their insurance coverage hasn’t kept up. Massey, Clark, Fischer had observed this trend across industries. Whether you own your building, lease space, or operate specialized equipment — what seemed like adequate coverage a few years ago may now leave an alarming gap.


Inflation is Driving Up Property Values and Costs

The value of commercial properties has climbed significantly in recent years, and rebuilding costs have followed suit. Material, labor and compliance with new building codes are more expensive than they used to be a few years back. If your policy is based on outdated valuations, your coverage may fall short when you need it most.


Why You Must Align Policies to Current Realities

Insurance limits that seemed adequate in 2020 may no longer meet replacement costs requirements today. We often find that businesses haven’t reviewed their policies in years — which leaves them underinsured. This is especially risky in the event of a total loss, where the true cost to rebuild could far exceed your policy limits.


“We are seeing businesses that haven’t updated their coverage in several years suddenly find out they are underinsured by 20% or more. Annual policy reviews and updated property valuations are not just smart — they are essential.” — H.W. “Hank” Massey, Jr., President, Massey, Clark, Fischer, Inc.
