A BOP is the right start. Here is where it ends.
A Business Owner's Policy bundles General Liability and Commercial Property into one premium. For most small businesses, it is the right foundation. But it has limits worth knowing before a claim comes in.
It typically does not cover: professional errors (that is E&O), employee dishonesty claims, commercial vehicles, or cyber incidents. Each of those is a separate conversation.
Your BOP is not a complete insurance program. It is a starting point.
Open your BOP right now. Find the "What We Cover" section. Then find the exclusions section and read both back to back.
Did you know a BOP has exclusions for professional services?
