What Does a Business Owners Policy (BOP) Typically Include?

• Business Property Insurance: Property insurance can help protect the property your business owns, leases or rents, including things like buildings, equipment, inventory, furniture and fixtures. It provides coverage for loss of accounts receivable and valuable papers and records.
• Business Liability Insurance: When it comes to liability protection, the broader the coverage the better. That's why BOP provides business liability insurance that helps cover your business in the event it is sued for causing harm to a person and/or damage to property. It also helps cover the cost of your defense – because businesses can be sued even if they did nothing wrong.
• Business Income Coverage: If unexpected events cause a suspension in your operations resulting from a covered cause of loss, BOP insurance will help replace loss of income to help you meet your continuing financial obligations such as rent or payroll.
