A BOP, or business owner policy, includes basic coverages needed by a business owner in one policy instead of a number of separate premiums. No matter what your business is, a tailored BOP will ensure you’re starting out on the right foot and covering your assets in a smart, affordable way.
Sleep soundly knowing you’re already one step ahead.
What Is In Your B.O.P?
A business owners’ policy will include three main categories of coverage.
Commercial General Liability Insurance
-protecting your business from claims or lawsuits having to do with everyday work
Commercial General Liability Insurance can help safeguard your business against damages that can be caused during the course of normal business operations. It can provide protection from a variety of claims or lawsuits, ranging from a customer slipping on a wet floor, a defective product causing damage to a client’s property, or other claims that the products or services you provided caused injury. It can also protect you from libel, slander and certain legal claims related to advertising.

Commercial Property Insurance
-protecting property you own, lease or rent. This also includes your building(s), equipment, furniture, inventory, and yes, even fixtures.
Commercial Property Insurance can help protect the business property you own, lease or rent, including assets like your buildings, equipment, furniture, fixtures and inventory. It can also help cover the costs to repair or replace stolen, damaged or destroyed property, including property and equipment that isn’t yours but is in your care and custody.
Business Income and Extra Expense Insurance
-Giving coverage if your business shuts down temporarily due to covered circumstances like a fire. Includes rent, payroll, and other financial responsibilities, which property is repaired or replaced.
Business Income and Extra Expense insurance (BIEE) provides coverage when your business shuts down temporarily due to a fire or other covered loss. It helps replace your income and covered expenses like rent, payroll and other financial responsibilities while your property is being repaired or replaced.
