General Liability vs. BOP: What’s Right for Your Business?

🏒 General Liability vs. BOP: What’s Right for Your Business?

If you're a small business owner in Texas, protecting your business from the unexpected is a must. But with so many coverage options, it can be hard to know what you really need. Two of the most common types of commercial insurance are General Liability and a Business Owner’s Policy (BOP)—and choosing the right one could save you thousands in the long run.

At Mauceri Bynum Insurance, we partner with Liberty Mutual to help business owners like you in McKinney and across North Texas find the perfect protection for your company’s needs.


πŸ” What is General Liability Insurance?

General Liability Insurance is the foundation of business coverage. It protects you from common risks that could financially impact your company, such as:

  • Customer injuries on your property πŸ€•
  • Damage to someone else’s property πŸ’Ό
  • Advertising or reputational harm (like slander or libel) πŸ“£

This policy is essential for businesses of all sizes, especially if you interact with customers or vendors in person.


πŸ’Ό What is a Business Owner’s Policy (BOP)?

A Business Owner’s Policy (BOP) is like a bundle deal. It combines General Liability Insurance with Commercial Property Insurance—and sometimes even Business Interruption Coverage—into a single, more affordable policy.

What’s Included in a Typical BOP?

  • βœ… General Liability
  • 🏒 Property coverage for your building, office, or equipment
  • πŸ”„ Loss of income if your business is forced to shut down temporarily

Liberty Mutual’s BOP is especially useful for:

  • Retail stores πŸ›οΈ
  • Offices πŸ–₯️
  • Restaurants 🍽️
  • Service providers (salons, repair shops, etc.) πŸ”§
