Business Owners Policy (bop)
As a business owner, you strive to make decisions that are right for your business, your employees and yourself. This includes decisions about business insurance. This brings you across a business owners policy (BOP) and thinking how is a BOP different than general liability policy?
The Business Owners Policy (BOP) combines various coverages – such as property, liability & business interruption coverage into a bundle.
Commercial Property Insurance – Covers property losses from common perils. Also providing coverage for computers, furniture, office equipment, machinery, inventory and raw materials.
General Liability Insurance – Covers the business legal responsibility for harming or inflicting bodily injury or property damage to someone or property resulting from your business’ operations, up to the policy limits.
Business Interruption Insurance – Reimburses your business for loss of income when a covered peril (disaster) interrupts your business’ successful operations.
