What is Business Insurance?

Building and owning a business is a labor of love - it takes passion as much as it takes sweat and tears. A Comprehensive Business Owner Policy (BOP) offers broad coverage and is designed to protect your business from almost everything life throws at it. From property damage and loss of business income to general liability suits and cyber threats, business insurance can provide you with peace of mind, so that you can focus on keeping your pride and joy running smoothly.
