If you own a small or midsize IT business, you may be able to get broad and affordable coverage with a Businessowners Policy (BOP).
Buying the business insurance coverages you require separately has the potential to crash your small business budget. A BOP, which is a package policy containing two or more insurance coverages, may be a way for you to get most of the protection you need at a much more economical rate.

Coverages that are typically included in this type of solution are:

  • General liability insurance, which may provide important financial protection against third-party claims that your IT services, products, or employees have caused an injury, illness, or property damage.
  • Commercial property insurance, which may help you pay for losses to your place of business and important business property, such as computers, if they are damaged by a fire, windstorm, lightning, theft, or another covered disaster.
  • Business interruption insurance, which may reimburse you for the income you lose if you must temporarily shut down your IT operation due to a covered disaster and may help you cover the extra expense of doing business out of a temporary location.

A BOP can be further tailored to meet your distinct requirements as a tech business by increasing your policy limits or adding optional coverages like cyber liability, professional liability, crime, employment practices liability, and more. By combining all this coverage in a BOP, managing your IT company’s risks may become much more affordable.
