Business owner policies for small and mid-size businesses

A business owner policy bundles general liability and commercial property coverage into a single, more affordable package, built for small and mid-size businesses with straightforward risk profiles. Miami's mix of storefronts, restaurants, and service businesses share a common exposure to storm-related shutdowns, making a BOP a practical starting point for most local operators.

What it may cover

  • General liability for third-party injury and property damage claims
  • Commercial property coverage for your building, equipment, and inventory
  • Business interruption income if a covered loss shuts down operations
  • Optional add-ons like cyber liability or equipment breakdown
  • Signage, awnings, and outdoor business property
  • Equipment breakdown coverage for HVAC, refrigeration, and point-of-sale systems

Who it's for

  • Retail shops, offices, and small service businesses
  • Restaurants and food service operations
  • Businesses that own or lease commercial space
  • Contractors and consultants operating from a small office or home-based studio

Why it matters

Buying general liability and property coverage separately typically costs more than a bundled BOP, and gaps between separate policies can leave coverage holes a BOP avoids. In a hurricane-prone market like Miami, business income protection can be the difference between reopening after a storm and closing for good.

Standard BOP

Bundles general liability and property coverage at package pricing.

BOP with business income coverage

Adds protection for lost income during a covered shutdown.

BOP with equipment breakdown add-on

Extends coverage to mechanical and electrical equipment failures not typically covered by standard property insurance.
