BOP - Business Owners Policy
BOP, or Business Owner's Policy, provides a combination of typically three coverage options specifically designed for small and medium-sized businesses:
-
Property Insurance: This type of coverage protects a business's physical assets, such as its building, equipment, and inventory, from losses due to events such as fire, theft, or natural disasters.
-
Liability Insurance: This type of coverage provides protection against claims of bodily injury or property damage caused by the business or its employees. It can also cover legal fees associated with defending against such claims.
-
Business Interruption Insurance: This type of coverage provides financial support to a business in the event that it is unable to operate due to a covered loss. It can cover lost income, expenses associated with relocating the business, and other costs associated with resuming operations.
BOPs are often more affordable than purchasing these coverage options separately. Additionally, BOPs can be customized to meet the unique needs of a specific business by adding optional coverage options such as data breach coverage or professional liability coverage.
​
It's important to note that not all businesses qualify for a BOP. Eligibility typically depends on factors such as the size of the business, its revenue, and the type of industry it operates in. Businesses that are not eligible for a BOP may need to purchase coverage options individually or through other types of insurance policies.
