What Is a Business Owners Policy?

Running a business requires vision and passion. Whether you own a boutique, work as a real estate agent, or manage a growing consultancy, one unexpected incident can put everything at risk. That’s why you need a policy that protects everything you’ve built.

The Ingram Agency makes it easy for you to get the robust coverage you need – without paying for things you don’t. Our business owners policies bundle several essential protections into one convenient, cost-effective package.

What Does a BOP Include?

A BOP combines multiple coverages into a single plan tailored to your business. Instead of juggling separate contracts or parsing documents full of industry jargon, you get a streamlined safety net.

  • General liability: Protects you from lawsuits and claims related to bodily injury or property damage that happen because of your business operations, services, or products.
  • Commercial property: Covers damage to your building, equipment, inventory, furniture, and signage due to fire, theft, vandalism, and other risks.
  • Business interruption: Covers lost income if your business must temporarily close due to an unexpected event like a fire or natural disaster. It can also pay for relocation and ongoing expenses during your downtime.
  • Workers’ compensation: Provides coverage for medical costs and lost wages for employees injured on the job. In Tennessee, it’s a legal requirement for many employers.
  • Errors and omissions: Protects against lawsuits claiming negligence, mistakes, or failure to perform services as promised. You need this policy if your work involves providing expertise or services.

Why Your Business Needs a BOP

Small business owners face risks daily. Even a minor mishap can cost thousands if you lack coverage. A BOP protects you from threats while simplifying your insurance.

1. Financial Security

Accidents, lawsuits, and disasters can all cause massive financial strain. A BOP covers those costs so your business can keep going.

2. Peace of Mind

With insurance in place, you can focus on your goals and revenue – not the “what-ifs.”

3. Legal Compliance

Depending on your industry and location, you may have a legal obligation to carry workers’ comp or other insurance. A BOP helps you stay compliant and avoid penalties.

4. Business Continuity

When disaster strikes, a BOP helps you recover quickly – repairing damage, covering lost income, and keeping your business on track.
