Your business’s success depends on hard work. Understandably, nothing should stall that hard work. A single disaster, however, can wipe out all of your efforts. To protect your profits, you’ll need a well-rounded business insurance policy. A Business Owners Policy, or BOP, can protect your workplace. If you haven’t heard about the great benefits a BOP offers, keep reading.
A BOP Has Many Coverage Options
Investopedia covers the ins and outs of a Business Owners Policy, discussing the many areas it covers. A normal BOP offers property insurance, crime insurance, business interruption insurance, liability insurance, vehicle insurance and more. It’s a pretty big package! It also guarantees a well-rounded approach to protection.
A BOP Can Be Modified
Even if your business needs a highly specific business insurance package, a BOP can help. In fact, a lot of business owners craft their BOPs to fit specific annual needs. Because a BOP has many coverage options, it’s often easy to swap individual coverage options in and out.
A BOP is Cost-Effective
Picking up a BOP, instead of purchasing the individual coverage options, is a great way to save money. A BOP also usually protects a business legally. Things like property damage and bodily injury can be costly. However, a BOP protects business owners from their company’s negligence. This usually leads to the business saving more money.
A BOP Offers Business Interruption Coverage
A lot of business owners have difficulty securing business interruption insurance. It protects the business owner from losses due to stalled activity. In most cases, it’s hard to find comprehensive business insurance packages which offer it. BOP packages often prioritize this coverage option. Typically, this insurance option provides up to a year of reimbursement, helping businesses recollect lost revenue.
When is a BOP Not Useful?
While BOP coverage spans across multiple insurance categories, it doesn’t cover everything. Growing businesses worried about property insurance losses should select a package which offers comprehensive property loss protection. Basic BOP packages cover buildings and their contents, but most packages have standard coverage. While standard property insurance can protect a business, and its owner, it may not be comprehensive enough to cover a workplace's many assets. If your business's property types are highly varied, you should select special coverage. Unlike standard property loss coverage, special coverage offers more comprehensive options.
Some businesses might struggle with BOP eligibility requirements, too. While established businesses shouldn’t have trouble obtaining a good BOP package, small businesses might have difficulty getting the best coverage possible. Businesses operating in high-risk industries might have trouble securing decent coverage.
In most cases, however, a BOP policy is invaluable. Depending on your business’s risks, you can create a highly specific BOP package. When it comes to basic coverage, long-term protection and customizability, a BOP is a solid solution. Talk to your commercial insurance agent today. They can help you better understand the importance of a BOP and how it can help you.
