Business Owner’s Policy

Combines general liability and commercial property coverage in one policy for businesses with equipment, inventory or physical locations. Commonly written for businesses that have physical premises, such as retail stores and real estate offices.

General Liability

Coverage for third-party claims for bodily injury, property damage and personal injury arising from business operations. Often written for contractors, janitorial services, landscapers and retail businesses.

Workers’ Compensation

Coverage for employee workplace injuries, including medical expenses, lost wages and employer liability. Commonly written for restaurants, retail stores, contractors and other businesses with employees.

Professional Liability/E&O

Coverage for claims alleging professional negligence, errors or failure to perform professional services. Frequently written for consultants, real estate professionals, insurance agents and other professionals.

Umbrella/Excess Liability

Provides additional liability limits above underlying policies such as general liability or a BOP. Commonly written for contractors, consultants and other businesses that require higher liability limits.

Tools & Equipment

Add a tools and equipment upgrade to your general liability insurance. If your gear ever gets damaged or stolen, we'll be there to abracadabra them back in a flash.
