We serve contractors, commercial real estate, manufacturers, and more.4 No matter the size of your company, we can find you the best insurance. Our goal is to protect what matters most to you, manage risk, and keep you in business.

Business Owners Policy (BOP)
Running a business means making sure your investments are safe, managing risks, and keeping your operations going. A Business Owners Policy (BOP) blends the necessary insurance covers your business requires into one plan. This makes handling insurance simpler and more cost-effective.7
General Liability Coverage
Within a BOP, you’ll find general liability coverage. It safeguards you against claims from people hurt or property damaged by your work, goods, or services. It’s key for businesses working with the public or owning important property.8
Commercial Property Protection
A BOP also includes protection for your company’s physical assets. This covers buildings, equipment, and stock against risks like fire, theft, and certain natural disasters. It’s easier and sometimes cheaper to get this coverage through a BOP than separately.7
Business Income Insurance
Another important part of a BOP is business income insurance. It helps when your business can’t operate due to a covered event, like a big storm, or equipment failure. This insurance supports your business in staying secure during hard times.7
Choosing a BOP means you might save money compared to buying each policy on its own. It’s designed for businesses of different sizes and types, like contractors or those working in offices. It fits a wide range of industries’ needs.89
To find the right BOP coverage for your business, start with a detailed risk assessment. Then, work with an insurance agent skilled in tailoring solutions to meet your specific needs. This approach ensures your business is well-protected.7
Specialized Coverage Options
Being a business owner means getting insurance past the basic ones. You need coverage in three main areas: professional liability insurance, cyber liability insurance, and employment practices liability insurance. These specialize in protecting against different risks.10
Professional Liability Insurance
Professional liability insurance (E&O) defends companies giving services or advice. It handles claims due to errors or neglect in your professional work.10 Everyone from consultants and accountants to architects and IT pros should have this.
Cyber Liability Insurance
Cyber liability insurance is key in our tech-focused world, especially for those dealing with data. It shields your budget from data breaches, cyber attacks, and tech issues.11 This coverage pays for data recovery, legal defense, and penalties to help your business bounce back.
Employment Practices Liability Insurance
Employment practices liability insurance guards you from claims about bad hiring practices, like discrimination. If you have staff, it’s vital for reducing the financial hit of work-related lawsuits.10
Investing in these specialized coverage options ensures your business stays protected from various threats. It supports your company’s growth in a complicated business world.1011
Business Insurance Needs
Protecting your business insurance needs is vital. It keeps your assets safe and lowers risks. It also helps your business run smoothly. Industry experts point out that small businesses commonly need 11 types of insurance. These include policies like general liability and professional liability insurance, among others.10
If your business has employees, you’ll likely need workers’ comp insurance. This covers their medical costs and lost wages from work injuries. Professional liability insurance is also wise. It aids in handling legal claims and their costs.10
For your physical business assets, get commercial property insurance. It covers damage and theft to your buildings and equipment. Don’t forget about your company vehicles, which need commercial auto insurance. It includes coverage for damage and injury claims.10 Should your business face a pause due to property damage, business income coverage steps in. It helps make up for lost revenue during the downtime.10
It’s smart to have employment practices liability insurance. It protects your business from certain employee claims, like discrimination or harassment.10
Small business insurance typically costs between $25 and $75 per month, per policy. Prices may change depending on location, size, and industry. Your choice of coverage and deductible also factors in. The size of your business’s property plays a role too.12
Your insurance can cover a wide range of scenarios. These include worker injuries, property damage, income loss, and lawsuits. As your business grows, you might need new types of insurance. Policies like representations and warranties insurance can become key when planning to sell your business.12
Even with an LLC, business insurance is crucial. Especially in fields like construction and farming. It protects against equipment damage and legal fees. If you own a sole proprietorship or partnership, liability insurance can protect your personal assets.12
For corporations, unique insurance needs often arise. The cost and type of coverage vary. They depend on the business’s size, location, and industry, among others.12
