Business Owners Policy: Coverage Tailored to Meet Your Needs

Our business owners policy provides protection for your buildings, business personal property, liability risks, and specific business risks.

Or call 866-COUNTRY (866-268-6879), and we'll help you find business insurance that works for you.

We offer specialized packages that cater to specific businesses

If your business falls into one of these categories, you can choose from our Gold or Platinum series.

  • Auto shops (includes auto body, maintenance, repair shops and car washes)
  • Retail and food shops (includes bakeries, micro-brew/winery, sandwich, clothing and gift shops, florists and main street retail)
  • Professional offices and services (includes accountants, lawyers, chiropractors, dental and medical offices, barbers and beauticians)
  • Contractors (includes builders, electricians, HVAC, janitorial, landscapers, plumbers, painters and remodelers)

Tailor your policy to fit your needs

Gold

Automatically added to your business owners policy at no additional cost, the Gold series offers more than 30 special coverages that are tailored to help your small business grow. Your rep will go through your choices with you. 

Platinum

Available at an additional cost, the Platinum series provides everything available in Gold, plus higher limits and several supplementary coverages. 

We’ll get to know your unique business needs and go through your choices with you. Choose how your property will be valued in case of loss:

  • Actual cash value is coverage for the current value of your buildings (replacement cost minus depreciation for age and wear). The newer your buildings, the more coverage you’ll have.
  • Replacement cost allows you to replace your damaged or destroyed building at today’s prices, subject to the limits on your policy. Your business personal property will also be insured on a replacement cost basis.

 

Coverages also included

Since you face a lot of unique risks, business owners insurance automatically protects you for many other types of loss and damage, like the ones listed below.

  • Loss of income
  • Equipment breakdown
  • Employee dishonesty
  • Outdoor signs
  • Money and securities
  • Electronic data
  • Accounts receivable
  • Building ordinance
  • Forgery and alteration

General liability

You can select from these coverage amounts and are limited to two occurrences per year.

  • $300,000
  • $500,000
  • $1 million
  • $2 million

You can enhance your liability protection with these extra coverages, available at an additional cost.  

 

Your one-stop shop

We offer comprehensive coverage, including these optional coverages that might be necessary for your business. 

  • Business auto coverage is specific to vehicles used for your business. This coverage contains liability, comprehensive and collision coverage, medical payments and more.
  • Business umbrella coverage provides you with liability protection above and beyond what your commercial policy includes. You can choose limits up to $5 million or more. 
  • Workers compensation is necessary for most employers. This insurance includes the following coverage for employees in your care if they’re injured on the job: medical expenses, disability income, and death and rehabilitation benefits.
