Insuranceopedia Explains Sign Floater Insurance

Floater insurance covers items that can be moved from one place to another, such as paintings of furniture. The item is covered whether it is moved or remains in a single place. Businesses often purchase sign floater insurance to cover their signs for loss and damages.

Since signs are usually custom-made, they tend to be expensive. Because they are located outside the business' building, they are also susceptible to theft or vandalism, especially if it has easily damaged parts like neon lights. Sign floater insurance protects these valuable but vulnerable assets.
