South Tangerang is now known as one of the fastest-growing regions in Indonesia. Areas like BSD City, Alam Sutera, and Bintaro are not only home to young professionals, but also home to thousands of new businesses—from cafes and offices to warehouses and light manufacturing.
Many entrepreneurs have invested heavily in shophouses, buildings and commercial properties in this area.
However, as property values and business activity grow, the risks to physical assets also increase sharply.
Every year, South Tangerang faces dozens of cases of fire, seasonal flooding, and property theft, which cause financial losses of billions of rupiah.
Unfortunately, most business owners don’t have adequate insurance coverage. They think, “My building is new, so it must be safe.” But risk doesn’t depend on a building’s age—in fact, the higher its value, the higher the risk.the risks.

Commercial Property: An Asset That Cannot Be Left Unprotected
For entrepreneurs in South Tangerang, property is the backbone of business.
Whether it is a shophouse, warehouse, restaurant, hotel, clinic, or office, all have a large investment value and are a major source of income.
Property values in BSD and Alam Sutera, for example, have increased by 30–50% in the last five years.
However, this increase in value also means that the potential for losses is greater if an incident occurs.
Imagine a fire destroying all the equipment, inventory, and interior of a building overnight. Without insurance coverage, the losses would amount to billions of rupiah. Many businesses would ultimately go bankrupt due to a single unplanned event.
Major Risks Threatening Commercial Properties in South Tangerang
- Fire
- Fire is the number one threat to property in South Tangerang.
- The causes can be various:
- Electrical short circuit from aging installation.
- The restaurant stove exploded.
- The refrigerator overheated in the food store.
- Human error such as forgetting to turn off electronic devices.
For example, in 2024, a fire broke out in a shophouse in BSD City, destroying four units at once. Losses were estimated at over Rp10 billion.
- Floods and Extreme Weather
- Although South Tangerang is considered a modern region, some areas are still prone to seasonal flooding, especially during heavy rainfall in Serpong, Ciputat, and Pamulang.
- Water can damage electronic equipment, stock, and even building structures.
- Theft and Vandalism
- Empty shophouses and warehouses at night are very vulnerable to theft.
- In many cases, thieves make off with stock, equipment, even air conditioners and electrical cables.
- In addition, there is also the risk of vandalism or damage due to deliberate human actions.
- Explosions, Lightning, and Smoke
Additional risks such as lightning or gas explosions also often occur without warning. In densely populated areas like Bintaro, damage can spread to multiple units at once.
The Financial Impact of a Single Uninsured Incident
Let’s look at a simple example:
A restaurant in Alam Sutera caught fire due to a small short circuit in the kitchen.
Within 15 minutes, the fire spread to the bar and dining area.
Losses include Rp. 600 million in interiors, Rp. 400 million in equipment, and Rp. 300 million in lost revenue during renovations.
Total loss: Rp. 1.3 billion.
Without insurance, all costs are the owner’s responsibility.
However, if the restaurant has a Property All Risks (PAR) policy, all losses can be reimbursed by the insurance company according to the insured value.
Insurance not only protects property, but also ensures business continuity so that it continues to run even if a disaster occurs.
Types of Insurance That Commercial Property Owners Must Have
- Property All Risks (PAR) Insurance
Provides comprehensive protection against the risks of fire, explosion, flood, lightning, theft, storm damage, etc.
This type of insurance is very suitable for building, shophouse, warehouse or office owners.
- Fire Insurance (FLEXA)
The most basic insurance, covering losses from fire, lightning, explosions, aircraft crashes, and smoke. Suitable for small, growing businesses.
- Business Interruption Insurance
Covers lost income while the business is out of business due to an incident. For example, businesses can still receive compensation for post-fire renovations.
- Theft & Burglary Insurance
Special protection against theft with violence or destruction of property.
- Machinery Breakdown Insurance
For businesses that use refrigeration machines, production equipment, or elevators, this insurance protects against unexpected damage.
- Public Liability Insurance
Protects you from third party claims, for example customers or guests injured in your business premises.
Why Property Insurance Isn’t Enough to Buy It Yourself
Many entrepreneurs try to purchase insurance policies directly from insurance companies or agents.
However, they often do not understand the details of the policy, such as exclusions, coverage limits, and claim conditions.
As a result, when a disaster occurs, claims can be rejected simply because of administrative matters that could have been avoided from the start.
This is where the role of a professional insurance broker becomes very important.
The Strategic Role of Insurance Brokers for Commercial Property Owners
Insurance brokers act as independent advisors who work in the interests of clients, not for insurance companies.
L&G Insurance Broker, for example, helps clients through the following stages:
- Property Risk Analysis – identifying potential hazards that could threaten a building.
- Insurance Program Design – selecting the appropriate policy type and coverage amount.
- Best Premium Negotiation – get competitive premium rates from various insurers.
- Drafting a Policy with Complete Clauses – ensuring there are no loopholes that could harm customers.
- Claim Assistance – helps the claims process to be quickly approved and paid.
With the support of a broker, property owners do not need to worry about complicated technical matters and bureaucracy.
