The insurance landscape is evolving rapidly due to many factors, from higher costs of building and escalating property values to more frequent and severe weather-related disasters. To safeguard their investments and ensure long-term business success, self-storage owners need to understand the market and the new challenges it presents.

In this 46-minute video seminar, self-storage insurance expert Jenny Bortman provides an overview of the property and casualty market and the most critical coverages available today. You’ll learn strategies to mitigate risk, how to identify potential challenges during insurance placement, and best practices for streamlining the application process, so you can avoid common mistakes and secure the policies you need.

Recorded at this year’s Inside Self-Storage World Expo in Las Vegas, “Essential Self-Storage Insurance Coverages and the Challenges You May Face in Getting Them” is available for $25, or you can purchase it as part of several larger discount bundles including the Operator Essentials Package, Risk Management Package and Total Solutions Package. Once purchased, it’s viewable directly through your “My On-Demand Library.”
