Proper business insurance coverage can help provide financial protection for your organization when unexpected events trigger an insurance claim. A business owners’ policy (BOP) may provide essential insurance coverage at a discount for eligible businesses. 

Contact Gordon Insurance in Redwood City, California, to find out whether your business may qualify to purchase a BOP. 

What Is Business Owners Insurance? 

A BOP is a group of insurance policies that may meet the basic insurance needs of many small and medium-sized businesses. The policies are bundled and provided at a discount. 

A BOP may be well-suited to the needs of your business, but not every business can purchase a BOP. Insurers may provide access to BOPs to companies with fewer than 100 employees and less than $5 million in annual revenue. Of course, BOP eligibility criteria vary by insurance company, so it’s essential to contact your agent to find out if our company can purchase a BOP. 

What Does a Business Owners Policy Cover? 

A BOP typically includes three core policies:  

• Property insurance helps pay for damage or destruction of business-owned property and equipment.
• Liability insurance helps pay for third-party claims for which your business is legally liable.
• Business interruption insurance helps cover everyday company bills if you must shut down to allow for repairs after a covered event. 

How to Customize Your BOP Coverage 

Your company may need more coverage than a BOP typically provides. Depending on your situation, your agent may recommend adding the following coverages: 

• Cyber liability insurance
• Commercial auto insurance
• Worker’s compensation insurance
• Employment practices liability insurance
• Equipment breakdown insurance 

What Does a Business Owners Policy Cost? 

Insurers set premiums for BOPs, so you may pay a different rate for business insurance than a similar company. In general, insurance companies use information about your business and your policy to determine BOP insurance premiums, including: 

• Your company’s location
• Your company’s size and annual revenue
• Your claims history
• The value of your company’s property
• Your deductible 

Whether you choose replacement cost (RC) or actual cash value (ACV) coverage
