At the Larry Burkman Agency, we can help you look at your possible risks and choose the coverage that is right for you.
Business Owner’s Policy (BOP)
The most common kind of policy small businesses get is a BOP. The BOP combines the most important kinds of coverage in one place, helping you coordinate claims and even saving you money.
A BOP usually has two main parts:
- Business property insurance protects your physical building, including its contents, in case of certain named perils, such as fire or vandalism.
- Business liability insurance protects your business in case someone sues your business for property damage or bodily injury because of something that happened during the normal course of business.
Other Kinds Of Commercial Insurance
There are several other kinds of available protection, and you can choose only the ones you will need. If you are a licensed professional, you should add professional liability insurance. Business interruption insurance protects you during an unforeseen closure. Data breach insurance has become popular as criminals have become more adept at interfering with others’ computers. If you have five or more full- or part-time employees, your business will be legally required to carry workers’ compensation insurance. These are just a few examples.
