Business Owner's Policy - Your Customer's Need This
A Business Owner's Policy (BOP) combines business property and business liability insurance into one convenient policy. BOP Insurance helps cover a business from claims resulting from things like fire, theft or another covered disaster from claims involving bodily injury, property damage and personal and advertising injury that could arise from a business operation.
Business can tailor a 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 and other specialized coverages to their BOP.
BOPs should be considered if:
- The business has a physical location, whether it's out of a home or a rented or owned office, store or other work place.
- There's a possibility of the business being sued - for example, by a customer who was injured at your work place.
- There are assets that could be stolen or damaged - whether they're digital assets, customer data, equipment, furniture, cash or inventory.
- Purchasing a BOP is smart and convenient. It simplifies coverage needs by including business property and business liability, two important coverages that most businesses need, in one policy.
