  • A businessowners policy (BOP) combines business liability, commercial property, business income, and equipment breakdown coverages into one cost-effective package for businesses. BOPs can be general in nature, or personalized to meet your business's industry-specific needs. Standard BOPs include commercial property insurance, business liability insurance, business income insurance, or equipment breakdown insurance.

    This type of coverage can provide reimbursement for the resulting medical, repair and legal expenses if your business is held liable for injuring someone or damaging their property. For example, if a customer slips and injures themselves on your property, business liability insurance can help pay for any medical costs or lawsuits that may arise from the incident. Such a policy can also be supplemented with additional coverage endorsements including fire legal liability and employment-related practices liability based on your business's unique risks and exposures.
