COVERAGE FOR ALL YOUR BUSINESS NEEDS

The John Wickhem Agency offers a complete line of commercial insurance products, including:

  • Commercial General Liability (CGL)
  • Business Owner’s Policy (BOP)
  • Commercial Property Insurance
  • Worker’s Compensation
  • Business Automobile
  • Commercial Excess Liability
  • Umbrella Liability
  • Professional Liability
  • Errors and Omissions
  • Directors and Officers
  • Bonding

WHAT’S THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A CGL POLICY AND A BOP?

In a nutshell, a CGL just covers you for liability (for example, someone suing you), whereas a BOP combines several types of insurance (for example, it includes a CGL plus typically some type of insurance for property damage and business interruption). This makes a BOP more cost-effective because they are almost always less expensive than if you tried to buy each type of coverage individually.

The biggest difference between a CGL and a BOP is whether a business qualifies to get a BOP. Your business must meet the following eligibility restrictions to purchase a BOP:

  • It must be in a low-risk industry (for example, a construction business is considered high-risk)
  • It must be considered a “small business” (for example, a small office space and only a few employees)
