A Florida business owner’s policy (BOP) provides coverage for the tangible and some intangible assets that a business owns. The policy also adds extra protection against bodily injury that a person that visits your business or uses your service may incur. The policy can also protect your income from natural disasters, fires, and other events that force your business out of operation for an extended period.
All of the protection afforded a business owner by a business owner’s policy goes above and beyond any other insurance protection that the business owner may have. This type of insurance is designed for the small and medium-sized company but can be made to fit large organizations. The level of coverage that you need depends on the type of business that you are involved in, where you live in Florida, and the value of all of the assets that you use in your business.
