What Is a Business Owners Policy (BOP)?
A business owners policy, or BOP, is an insurance policy that provides coverage for small to medium-sized businesses. This type of policy bundles several coverages into one package that typically includes property insurance, commercial general liability insurance and business interruption insurance. By combining these coverages, businesses can often save money compared to purchasing each type of coverage separately.
What Is Covered Under a Business Owners Policy?
A BOP includes the following core coverages:
- Property insurance may help provide financial protection against damage or destruction of physical assets such as buildings, equipment and inventory. This coverage can help businesses recover from fires, theft or natural disasters.
- General liability insurance may help provide financial protection if a third party sustains property damage, a bodily injury, or personal or advertising injury. It can also provide coverage if the business is sued due to bodily injury, property damage, or advertising injury caused to third parties. This coverage can help protect the business’s assets in a lawsuit.
- Business interruption insurance may help provide financial assistance to cover lost income and operating expenses if the business is forced to close temporarily due to a covered event. This coverage can be particularly helpful for businesses that rely on a physical location to generate income.
In addition to the standard coverages included in a BOP, businesses may need additional coverage depending on their unique needs. For example, businesses that use vehicles may need commercial auto insurance to comply with Florida’s laws. Workers’ compensation insurance may also be necessary to comply with state laws.
Who Needs a Business Owners Policy?
In general, small to medium-sized businesses in various industries may benefit from having a BOP. Business owners who operate a physical storefront, own equipment or inventory, or employ staff should consider purchasing a BOP to protect their assets and income.
It’s important to note that not every business is eligible to purchase a BOP. Eligibility is typically based on the size and type of business and the specific risks associated with the company. Your agent can help determine whether your company is eligible for a BOP.
