A Business Owners Policy bundles general liability and commercial property insurance into one affordable package — protecting your business from lawsuits, property damage, theft, and lost income in a single policy.
Every small business faces two fundamental risks: someone sues you, or something damages your property. A Business Owners Policy (BOP) addresses both in one affordable package — combining general liability insurance and commercial property insurance into a single policy that costs less than buying them separately.
Whether a customer slips and falls in your store, a fire destroys your inventory, or a burst pipe shuts down your office for weeks — a BOP covers the liability claims, property damage, and lost business income that would otherwise come out of your pocket. It's the most popular insurance product for small and mid-sized businesses for a reason: it's comprehensive, customizable, and cost-effective.
From restaurants and retail shops to offices, contractors, and service businesses — a BOP is the insurance foundation that protects your property, your liability, and your income. We help Midwest businesses find the right coverage at the best price.

A BOP bundles essential coverages into one policy. Here's what's included and what you can add.
Covers third-party claims of bodily injury, property damage, and personal/advertising injury. If a customer is hurt on your premises or your work damages someone's property, GL pays for medical bills, legal defense, and settlements.
Covers physical damage to your building (owned or leased), furniture, equipment, inventory, and business personal property from covered perils — fire, wind, hail, lightning, vandalism, theft, and more.
Replaces lost income and covers ongoing expenses — rent, payroll, loan payments — if your business can't operate due to covered property damage. Keeps your business financially afloat during repairs.
Covers repair or replacement costs when essential equipment — HVAC systems, computers, production machinery, refrigeration — breaks down due to mechanical or electrical failure after the warranty expires.
Covers losses from burglary, robbery, and vandalism — protecting your inventory, equipment, cash on premises, and physical property from criminal acts. Essential for retail, food service, and any business with valuable on-site assets.
Add cyber liability, hired/non-owned auto, spoilage coverage, signs & glass, accounts receivable, electronic data, and more. We tailor your BOP with endorsements that match your industry's specific risks.
Pays medical expenses for someone injured on your business premises — regardless of fault. Covers smaller injury claims quickly to avoid lawsuits, typically up to $5,000 or $10,000 per person.
Covers liability claims arising from products you sell or services you've completed — if a product injures someone or a completed job causes damage after you've left the site.
We assess your industry, property, and risk profile to build a customized BOP with the right coverages and limits.

General liability only covers third-party bodily injury, property damage, and advertising injury claims. A BOP includes the same general liability coverage PLUS commercial property insurance and business income coverage — all in one policy at a lower cost than buying them separately. If you have property or equipment to protect, a BOP is the better choice.
A BOP does not include workers' compensation insurance, commercial auto insurance, professional liability (errors and omissions), health insurance, or flood and earthquake coverage. These require separate policies. We help you identify coverage gaps and build a complete insurance program that addresses all your risks.
BOP costs vary by industry, location, business size, property value, number of employees, revenue, and coverage limits. Many small businesses pay between $500 and $3,000 per year for a BOP — significantly less than purchasing general liability and commercial property separately. As an independent agency, we compare 50+ carriers to find the best rate.
Yes — BOPs are highly customizable through endorsements. Common add-ons include cyber liability, hired and non-owned auto, equipment breakdown, spoilage coverage, signs and glass, accounts receivable, electronic data processing, and more. We tailor your BOP with endorsements that match your specific industry risks.
Yes. If you're a tenant, your BOP covers your business personal property (equipment, inventory, furniture), your liability, and business income. The building itself is typically insured by the landlord. Many commercial leases require tenants to carry a BOP or general liability policy — we provide the certificates of insurance your landlord needs.
A BOP is not required by law in most states. However, commercial landlords often require tenants to carry business insurance as a condition of the lease. Client contracts frequently require general liability coverage with specific limits. Lenders may require property insurance on financed buildings or equipment. In practice, most businesses need a BOP to operate.
General liability and commercial property — bundled, affordable, and customizable. Let us build the right BOP for your business today.
