Business Owner Policy Insurance (BOP insurance)

A business owner's policy (BOP) combines property and liability insurance by packaging these coverages into a single insurance policy. BOP insurance helps cover claims of bodily injury or property damage and is often a good choice for small and medium-sized businesses, such as restaurants, wholesalers or retail shops.

Who needs a business owner's policy?

Insurance for business owners may be beneficial for you if:

You have a building or property to protect. For example, your business' building or property is destroyed due to a covered loss, like a fire or theft. A BOP could help pay to repair or replace an owned building. It could also help replace destroyed personal business property, up to the limits you pick.

You want to protect your investments. For example, you get an email from a client, but you open it to discover that it contains a virus. BOP insurance could help pay for restoring data due to harmful code that damages or destroys any part of your company's computer system.

You own a small business such as:
  • Auto service & repair
  • Commercial building & property owners
  • Professional offices
  • Restaurant Insurance
  • Retail store & services

Still have questions? We're here to help you. Still aren't sure if a BOP is right for your business? Feel free to contact us. Our licensed agents will walk you through the process.

What may impact the cost of a business owner's policy?
  • High exposure to risk
  • Claims history
  • High coverage requirements
  • Type of profession

Why do you need commercial auto insurance?

Personal auto insurance does not always cover business use. Without commercial auto insurance, you're at risk of:

  • Having limited or no coverage for accidents
  • Paying out of pocket for repairs, injuries, and more
  • Losing your personal auto coverage

Many jobs and contracts require commercial auto insurance, which GEICO can provide.
