Business Insurance – The Basics

Author: Valeria Weber

For the small and medium sized business, most business insurance plans are packages that cover property losses and liability. The business owner’s policy is a standard package in the industry that provides a framework for basic business insurance. Large businesses and multinationals may have more complex insurance needs, but the BOP is the standard format for all other businesses.

Coverage includes property damage for the business’s building(s) and the assets within the building, including production equipment and inventory. There are varying levels of coverage for the business’s property, some more comprehensive than others.
