What is a Business Owner's Policy?
A Business Owner’s Policy is a unique insurance package designed for small to medium-sized businesses. By merging key coverages such as property insurance and general liability, a BOP provides a broad spectrum of protection.
Univista’s role is pivotal in guiding you through diverse BOP options, reflecting a comprehensive understanding of industry intricacies and potential perils. With us, your business finds a shield, fortified by knowledge and precision.
What does a Business Owner's Policy cover?
A BOP is multifaceted, encompassing various essential coverages to safeguard businesses. Its principal components include:
- Property Insurance: Shields your business assets like buildings, equipment, and inventory against damage or loss from fires, theft, and other covered perils.
- General Liability: Covers claims arising from injuries, property damage, and other liabilities that might happen on your business premises or due to your operations.
- Business Interruption: Compensates for lost income and operating expenses if your business is temporarily halted due to a covered incident, like a fire.
- Tenant’s Liability: If you lease a space and cause damage to it, this can help cover repair costs.
- Crime Insurance: Protects against financial losses resulting from criminal acts like fraud, theft, or embezzlement.
Remember, like any policy, BOPs have their limitations.
Depending on your business specifics, you might need additional endorsements or standalone policies for comprehensive fortification.
How much does a Business Owner's Policy cost?
The cost of a Business Owner’s Policy hinges on various dynamics, each offering insights into the potential price range. Key determining factors include:
- Nature of business: Industries with higher risks, like manufacturing, might have elevated premiums compared to a small retail store.
- Location: Your business’s geographical location, especially if it’s in areas with high crime rates or prone to natural calamities, can affect costs.
- Business size: A more expansive business with a larger property or more employees might necessitate higher coverage, influencing premiums.
- Claims history: Previous claims can paint a picture of your risk level, with frequent claims potentially hiking rates.
- Chosen deductibles: Higher deductibles usually lead to lower premiums and vice versa.

Business Owner's Policy FAQs
Does a BOP cover employee injuries?
No, a BOP typically doesn’t cover employee injuries. For that, you’d need Workers’ Compensation Insurance.
How does a BOP differ from General Liability Insurance?
While General Liability Insurance covers third-party injury claims and property damage, a BOP combines this with commercial property coverage (for your equipment, inventory, etc.) and can also include business interruption insurance.
How are BOP premiums determined?
Premiums can be influenced by factors like your business size, location, industry, and the specific coverage amounts and types you choose.
