Business Owners Policy (BOP)

A BOP bundles the core coverages most small businesses need into a single, affordable policy. It is where most of our clients start, and we build from there based on your specific situation.

Business insurance questions, answered plainly.

How much does commercial insurance cost in Minnesota?

It depends on your industry, revenue, number of employees, and the coverage types you need. A BOP for a small business can start under $100 per month. We will get you an accurate quote based on your actual situation.

Do I need workers compensation if I only have one employee?

In Minnesota, most employers with one or more employees are required to carry workers compensation insurance. There are some exceptions. We can help you figure out what applies to your situation.

My landlord requires proof of insurance. What do I need?

Most landlords require a Certificate of Insurance showing general liability coverage. We can issue a certificate quickly once your policy is in place, and we can add your landlord as an additional insured if required.

I work from home. Do I still need business insurance?

Yes. Your homeowners policy does not cover business equipment, business liability, or losses related to your work. Even home-based businesses need at least a basic business owners policy or in-home business endorsement.

Can you cover my business in multiple states?

Yes. We are licensed in Minnesota, Wisconsin, Colorado, Michigan, and Arizona. If your business operates across state lines, we can often build a policy that covers your exposure in each state.

Let's talk about protecting your business.
