Planning tips for this checklist
A BOP is a package, not every policy
Liability, property, business income, and extra expense may be bundled, while workers compensation, professional liability, cyber, flood, and commercial auto may be separate.
Compare property assumptions
Equipment, inventory, tenant improvements, signs, computers, off-premises property, deductibles, and replacement cost assumptions should be visible beside each quote.
Review when operations change
A BOP should be revisited after moving, buying equipment, adding inventory, hiring, signing a lease, launching ecommerce, or changing services.
