What is BOP (Business Owners Policy)?
Many insurance companies have bundled property and liability coverage into what’s commonly called a business owners policy (BOP). It allows you to obtain broad coverage with affordable premiums. Even if you have a BOP, you’ll want to consider adding coverages that might not otherwise be included. Property insurance can be tailored to fit your needs since no two businesses are the same. For example, a restaurant has different needs than a furniture store; a retail business with a lot of customer interaction and builders who are contractually obligated to, say erect an office building, may face a greater amount of liability than, say, a two-person accounting office. Therefore, liability above and beyond a BOP package should be considered.
