What is BOP insurance?
BOP insurance, or a business owners policy, is like a shield for small businesses. It combines various types of coverage business owners won’t want to be caught without when the unexpected happens.
These coverages protect against property damage, theft, lawsuits, and other unexpected risks. It’s like having a superhero suit that can withstand almost anything that comes your way.
These include:
- property insurance
- liability coverage
- business interruption
So, if you’re a small business owner looking to armor up and take on the world, BOP insurance is your ultimate weapon of choice. From fires to slip-and-fall accidents, or a customer unhappy with your products or services — you’ll have insurance coverage you can count on.
Typical small business risks BOP insurance covers
Property damage
BOP insurance typically covers property damage caused by perils such as fire, vandalism, or severe weather events. It can also cover repairs, replacement, or rebuilding your business property, including buildings, equipment, inventory, and furniture.
Theft
BOP insurance often includes coverage for theft or burglary, protecting your business from financial loss due to stolen assets or inventory.
Business interruption
This coverage can shield business owners against income loss during temporary cessation of operations due to a covered event (fire, natural disaster). It can go toward replacing revenue, covering expenses (rent, salaries), and aiding in recovery and rebuilding.
General liability
Coverage for incidents on your premises or due to business operations is another key component of these policies. General liability coverage can apply to legal fees, settlements, and judgments. It may even extend to product liability claims for businesses involved in manufacturing or selling products.
Product or professional liability
BOP insurance may offer coverage for product liability (injury, property damage from products) and professional liability (errors, omissions, negligence) for service-based businesses. This protects against claims arising from the services these businesses provide.

Examples of BOP claims scenarios
Property damage
A customer tripped and fell on your premises, resulting in a broken arm. Your BOP policy covers the cost of their medical bills and legal fees associated with the claim.
This can also include instances like a fire causing significant damage to your property. With BOP insurance, you’ll have the coverage to restore or replace damaged items as quickly and efficiently as possible.
Liability coverage
An unhappy customer sues you over faulty products or services you provide. They claim you were negligent, resulting in financial losses and undue stress. Your BOP policy covers the legal costs related to your defense.
Business interruption
A major snowstorm shuts down your business for several days. Your BOP policy pays for lost income, including any salaries or wages you would’ve paid during this time.
