Coworking spaces and flexible offices should take every reasonable measure to mitigate risk, but there are some things you simply can’t control. That’s where insurance comes in—that is, if you have the proper coverage to actually protect your business.

Coworking and flex spaces have outpaced advancements in the insurance industry. The absence of a classification code for coworking businesses and a lack of knowledge on the part of agents and underwriters means that thousands of spaces are operating with insufficient coverage.

We created Proximity Protect to address a glaring need in the coworking and flex industry. Our goal is to reduce business risk for space owners and managers while providing an easier, more streamlined approach to getting coverage in place. Proximity Protect is the nation’s first brokerage to fully specialize in insurance for coworking spaces and coworking space tenants. We look forward to working with you.

Protect features in the Proximity software platform enable you to require proof of insurance from your members for any membership type you choose. This reduces the overall risk burden for your business and helps you track and manage insurance certificates and renewal dates for your members. If you choose, you can also restrict access to digital door keys, Wi-Fi and reservations until proof of coverage is uploaded by the member. For members who need insurance to meet your requirements, quotes are available through Proximity Protect.
