Business Owners Policy (BOP)
One Policy, Complete Small Business Coverage
The Small Business Bundle-Property, Liability & More
A Business Owners Policy (BOP) combines essential coverages for small businesses: commercial property, general liability, and (in most cases) business income protection. With one affordable package, Gateway Insurance can help business owners protect buildings, inventory, equipment, and cash flow-while meeting common lease and contract requirements.
Basic Coverages & Common Endorsements
Commercial Property
Covers your building (if owned), equipment, inventory, furnishings, and signs.
General Liability
Protects your business against lawsuits for bodily injury, property damage, and advertising injury.
Business Income
Coverage for lost revenue and fixed expenses if a covered loss forces a shutdown (fire, storm, burst pipes).
Endorsement Options
Coverage like equipment breakdown, cyber liability, hired/non-owned auto, spoilage, outdoor property, and more are endorsements that can be customized for your operations.
Is a Business Owners Policy Right for Your Business?
Retail stores, shops, and boutiques
Professional offices (accountants, realtors, insurance agents)
Service businesses (salons, repair, consulting)
Light manufacturing or workshops
Not Always a Fit:
High-hazard industries (heavy trucking, large apartments, manufacturing with hazardous processes) may need specialized packages-Gateway can advise and route you to the right solution.
Bundle Savings & Simpler Coverage
A BOP often costs less than buying property, liability, and income coverage separately-plus you get one renewal, one bill, and fewer coverage gaps. Gateway compares BOP rates across carriers and can explain the differences, so you make an informed choice.

What You'll Need for a BOP Quote
Business type and legal structure (LLC, corp, sole prop, etc.)
Annual revenue and payroll
Building ownership/tenant status
Equipment and inventory details
Number of employees
Vehicles (if any)
Prior claims or loss history
Gateway can review your business operation with you, recommend the coverages and together determine the best way to write your policy.
Coverage for your Business
Whether you run a storefront or office downtown, or a service shop, Gateway Insurance can discuss your exposures and business needs and design a BOP policy to protect your property, liability risks, and contract needs.
