Business Owner Policy | a BOP for Business Owners in Murrieta, Menifee CA, Temecula, Lake Elsinore
BOP – Business Owner Policy – What Is It?
A Business Owner Policy is as you might assume is insurance for business owners. BOP is simply the insurance industry’s acronym for Business Owner’s Policy. A business owner realistically requires different types and options in insurance coverage.
Small Business Owners have a need for a BOP just as much as large business owners. Therefore a Business Owner’s Policy (BOP) combines business property and business liability insurance into one convenient policy.
Business Owners can tailor a Business Owner’s Policy (BOP) to help meet their unique needs by adding optional coverages like data breach, business income for off-premises utility services and other specialized coverages to their BOP.
BOP Coverage A business owners policy contains two primary coverages:
Liability The liability coverages available on a BOP are the same as those on a general liability policy. This includes protection against liabilities like customer injury and property damage, advertising injury, and product-related claims. A BOP doesn’t cover your employees. You’ll need a separate workers’ compensation policy.
Property
It can also pay for other things like debris removal, loss of income and pollution cleanup as part of a covered loss. A BOP policy, like most other policies, has certain coverage exclusions that you should be aware of. If you need protection for something that isn’t covered, policy endorsements might be available to extend coverage. For example, damage from earthquakes is typically excluded from a BOP.
If you live in an area that’s prone to earthquakes, you might want to consider adding an endorsement to your policy to extend coverage. Ask about endorsement options when getting your quote. As Mentioned above, a BOP does NOT cover your employees. So you might want to take a look at Workers Compensation Insurance now . . . OR . . .
