Fergus Insurance and a commercial lease- Many business owners rent or lease an office, showroom, shop or store. In such cases, the commercial landlord offering the lease typically will require that you have commercial general liability insurance (CGL.)

The business offering the lease wants to ensure you have coverage to ensure they are not drawn into a lawsuit.
