Business insurance is a broad category of insurance coverages designed for businesses. It is also called commercial insurance. Businesses buy insurance to protect themselves against financial losses resulting from lawsuits or physical damage to company-owned property. A business that has no insurance may be unable to continue operating after a loss occurs.

Each coverage in your BOP has a coverage limit. A limit is the maximum amount your insurer will pay for a covered claim. It’s also important to note that each coverage in a policy is typically subject to its own limit. And, some coverages may come with a deductible. A deductible is the amount of money you pay out of pocket toward a covered claim.
