Business Owners Insurance. Something every retailer should carry.

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 store owner.

A business owner's policy combines different coverages, such as property and liability insurance, into a single policy. Just like a good selection of products can delight many different customers, the right selection of coverages can protect you from different types of claims.

Here are some examples:

• Heavy rain has left the store entrance wet. A customer slips and falls on a poorly secured mat and has to go to the hospital. A business owners policy that includes general liability insurance may be able to help cover medical costs and other related claims (up to your policy limits).
• You arrive at the store 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.
• There is a break-in at your store in the middle of the night and the most expensive inventory is stolen from the shelves. Business personal property coverage as part of your BOP insurance may help take care of replacing the goods.

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