What is a Businessowners Policy (BOP), and is it the right choice for your small business?
Most of the small to midsized businesses we work with will be best served by an insurance solution that packages two or more coverages together. One of the most comprehensive and affordable types of multi-coverage policy is called a Businessowners Policy, or BOP. Whether you’re in the business of repairing roofs, baking cupcakes, or producing injection molds, it is highly likely that Gilbert can find a BOP designed especially with your kind of business in mind.
While BOPs may be customized differently depending on the industry they are targeting, the basic businessowners policy typically includes the following coverages, which are essential safeguards for any small or midsized business.
- General Liability, which may provide important financial protection against third-party claims that your services, products, or employees have caused an injury, illness, or property damage.
- Commercial Property, which may help pay for the losses you may incur if your business property is damaged or business is disrupted by a fire, windstorm, lightning, theft, or other covered disasters.
- Business Interruption, which may reimburse you for the income you lose if you have to temporarily shut down your operation after a fire or other similar catastrophe and may help you cover the extra expense of doing business out of a temporary location.
Gilbert can help you tailor a basic BOP to satisfy your company’s unique needs by either increasing your policy limits or adding optional coverages like cyber liability, equipment breakdown, food or merchandise spoilage, professional liability, crime, employment practices liability, accounts receivable, money and securities, valuable papers, and more.
By combining all this coverage in a BOP, managing your company’s risks becomes much more affordable.
