Frequently asked questions
What does a BOP cover for a retail store?
A business owner's policy bundles property and general liability, often with business interruption. Many small retailers start there and add coverages as needed.
How is my inventory valued after a loss?
Policies differ on cost vs. selling price and seasonal stock swings. An agent can set limits that match your busiest season.
Am I covered if a customer slips in the store?
That's the core of general liability — but limits and medical payments vary. An agent can size them to your traffic.
