Should you consider a business owners policy (BOP)?

A business owners policy may help protect your business from various covered claims, including bodily injury, property damage and injuries done to others that may occur resulting from your organization’s operations. Liability and property coverages are included in one combined package to help you manage unexpected risks in business.

Tips for buying small business insurance

Small business insurance is designed to help protect you against a range of risks. As you decide whether you need business insurance, here are some things to consider:

  • Assess your risks. Think about what kind of accidents, natural disasters or lawsuits could damage your business. Determine what business property you own (inventory, equipment or buildings) that could be at risk.
  • Work with an agent. State Farm agents are business owners, too. They understand the needs of small business owners. 
  • Re-evaluate every year. As your business grows, so do your potential risks. Check in with your local agent to make sure you have the proper coverage.
