What is a Business Owners Policy (BOP)?

A Business Owner’s Policy (BOP) combines business property and business liability insurance into one policy. BOP insurance helps cover your business from claims resulting from things like fire, theft or other covered disasters. Business owners insurance also helps cover claims that could arise from your business’s operation. These include claims of bodily injury or property damage. They also include claims related to personal and advertising injury.

A BOP Policy is great because it can be custom-made to fit industry specific businesses. This means it’s great for businesses of any size especially small businesses.

Who needs a BOP?

• Businesses that have a physical location. It doesn’t matter where you conduct your business, it matters if your business and assets have coverage. Your BOP policy can help cover businesses run out of your home, a rented or owned office, store or garage.
• If there’s a possibility of you getting sued. For example, let’s say a customer who was injured at your work place slips and falls. Without the proper business owner’s insurance, you may be looking at hefty out-of-pocket fees to cover the customer’s medical expenses.
• If your business has assets that could get stolen or damaged. From digital assets and customer data, to equipment, furniture, cash or inventory, some assets can be very hard to replace. With BOP Insurance, you don’t have to worry about where the money is coming from in the event you have assets that got stolen or damaged.
