What Is Business Owner’s Policy Insurance?
A Business Owner’s Policy (BOP) combines business property and business liability insurance into one business insurance policy. BOP insurance helps cover your business from claims resulting from things like fire, theft or other covered disasters. Business owner’s insurance also helps cover claims that could arise from your business operations. These include claims of bodily injury or property damage. They also include claims related to personal and advertising injury.
A Policy Customized to Your Business
Businesses can tailor their Business Owner’s Policy (BOP) to help meet their unique needs by adding optional coverages, like:
- Data breach
- Business income for off-premises utility services
- Other specialized policies
A BOP policy can be custom-made to fit industry specific businesses. This means it’s great for businesses of any size, especially small businesses.
BOP insurance for business owners is built to cover companies that generally face the same risks. Customizing your BOP Insurance is an important first step when insuring your business. Small business owners should do this from the beginning to protect against losses and damages early on.
