Business Owners Insurance. A staple you’ll likely want to consider.

From sourcing suppliers to managing staff to pleasing customers, you’ve got a lot to handle. It can be easy to overlook insurance. It also can be risky for your business. A business owners policy (BOP), can make a lot of sense for a restaurant owner.

A business owner's policy typically combines different coverages, such as property and liability insurance, into a single policy. Just like different cooking utensils can help you create all kinds of dishes, each type of coverage can help protect you from different types of claims.

Here are some examples:

• A customer gets up to use the restroom and slips and falls from a spilled drink on the floor that wasn’t cleaned up in time. A business owners policy that includes general liability insurance may help cover medical costs and other related claims (up to your policy limits).
• You arrive at the restaurant in the morning and notice that the door lock has been damaged by vandals and needs to be replaced. With lock replacement coverage, which may be available as an add-on, the cost of repairing the damage likely doesn’t have to come out of your pocket.
• You open up the restaurant in the morning to find the refrigerator stopped working. All the food in the refrigerator has spoiled and is unusable. Spoilage coverage as part of your BOP insurance can help take care of replacing the food.

Without BOP coverage, you could be financially responsible for claims or damages that arise from any one of those events. And that could spell disaster for your restaurant.

The proof is in the Yorkshire, Saxon, and Blancmange pudding.
