What is a Business Owners Policy or BOP?

New Jersey law does not require its business owners to purchase commercial property insurance, though mortgage companies often compel their clients to obtain a policy. It is compulsory under state law for many firms to have a general liability policy, depending on the field in which they are working, though it is not mandatory for all to do so. Nevertheless, many companies purchase these indemnifications for the protection that they offer. 

What Does a Business Owners Policy Entail?

A business owner policy, or BOP, will roll several commercial insurance coverages together into one, including those that pertain to both general liability and business property. BOPS are primarily purchased by smaller to mid-sized firms that face a similar degree of risk as one another, and these operations also have the option of buying these policies separately. 

Normally included in a BOP are a commercial property and its contents, and business owners can choose between a standard BOP and a ‘special’ BOP that provides more in-depth safeguards. Business interruption insurance, also a part of a BOP, can help compensate for lost income while recovering from a catastrophe, such as a fire or a storm damage, and it can extend to the costs of temporarily running your operation from a separate location.

Lastly, liability indemnification is an important instrument that can protect you in the event that your product or service causes harm to somebody else, and this can include mistakes caused by both errors and omissions.
