What Is a Business Owners Policy?
A Business Owners Policy (BOP) is essential coverage for small- and medium-sized businesses, helping protect against a variety of common risks. Business Owners insurance includes two major coverage types: liability and property.
General Liability
General liability coverage protects you from medical expenses, legal bills and more in the event a customer is injured, or their property damaged while visiting your business. For example, say a customer slips and falls inside your store after a product spill. Your BOP will help pay for medical bills and other expenses related to the claim, saving you from unexpected out-of-pocket costs.
Property Damage
As the name suggests, property coverage protects your physical business and the items in it in the event of a covered loss. Imagine there’s a fire and your building and some of the items inside are damaged. Your property insurance coverage will pay to repair or replace those items, helping you get back to business sooner.
