Business Owners Policy, aka BOP, is a policy that combines property,
liability and business interruption coverage for small- to
medium-sized businesses. Business owner's policies are often the
preferred method of coverage since they provide California business
owner’s with comprehensive coverage that they would often not be
able to afford if they purchased insurance policies individually.
The minimum premium for many business classes starts at $500.
Why would I, a California business owner, purchase a Business Owners
Policy?
Business Owners Policies are a cost effective means of applying for
many business insurance coverages under one policy. Many businesses
are required to carry liability coverage to occupy office/industrial
space. BOPs are a great way to obtain your general liability
coverage and add additional coverages like business income, theft
coverage, employer's liability and more depending on the carrier.
Examples of how a Business Owner’s Policy can protect your business.
1. Do you have customers come to your California business office,
whether you're in an office building or a retail location?
If so, a Business Owner's Policy provides you with "slip and fall"
coverage. If someone were to become injured while at your business
location, your insurance will cover any injuries or harm sustained
by them. It will also protect you in the event you are sued for such
an accident.
2. Do you operate a California retail location?
A Business Owner's Policy will cover you in the event that your
merchandise is shoplifted.
3. Do you utilize computers and other electronic devices and media
in your California business location?
A Business Owner's Policy provides you coverage if your computer
equipment is damaged; you have damaged software or data loss due to
power failures, computer viruses or other catastrophes.
4. Do you use cash register or store money or securities in your
California business location?
A Business Owner's Policy will protect your money and securities
that are used in your business should they be stolen, lost or
destroyed.
5. If your California business is burglarized, a Business Owner's
Policy will pay for lock and key replacement following the burglary
or theft.
6. If you have employees or contractors working at your California
business location, a Business Owner's Policy can protect you against
loss or damage to those individual's property.
